  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate Brian Reece of Osceola, Iowa, on receiving the 
Presidential Award for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching 
(PAEMST).
  This program, administered by the National Science Foundation on 
behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, 
recognizes exemplary teachers for their contributions to the teaching 
and learning of math and science. Each award recipient will be 
receiving a certificate signed by the President, along with a $10,000 
award from the National Science Foundation. Each recipient will travel 
to Washington, D.C. for an awards ceremony at a later date.
  Brian has been teaching mathematics for the past 19 years. Nine of 
those years have

been spent at Central Academy, a public high school in Des Moines 
listed in the top one percent of educational programs by the College 
Board. He has taught in a number of Iowa school districts, as well as 
at the Des Moines Area Community College. Brian received his B.A. in 
Mathematics from Central College in Pella, Iowa, and furthered his 
mathematics education with a Master's of School Mathematics from Iowa 
State University.
  Mr. Speaker, it is an honor to represent Iowans like Brian Reece who 
display dedication and pride in developing Iowa's next generation. I 
know all of my colleagues in the House join me in congratulating Brian 
for receiving this prestigious award and wishing him nothing but 
success in the future.
