    CONGRATULATING NORTH HOLLYWOOD HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE BOWL WINNERS

  (Mr. CARDENAS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. CARDENAS. Mr. Speaker, it fills me with great pride to 
congratulate students from my San Fernando Valley district at North 
Hollywood High School for winning the Los Angeles Department of Water 
and Power Science Bowl Regional Competition. This academic competition 
tests students' knowledge in all areas of science, quizzing them in a 
fast-paced question-and-answer format.
  These science bowls challenge and prepare our Nation's students to 
become researchers and engineers of the future. As an engineer myself, 
I know that there is an ever-growing demand for talent in the science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics fields right here in America.
  It is thrilling to see the promising young men and women coming out 
of our San Fernando Valley schools with such great talent. You should 
all be proud of yourselves for making it this far, as it is a huge 
accomplishment. The entire San Fernando Valley and I will be cheering 
you on as you compete in the national finals here in Washington, D.C. 
Congratulations.
