                     Wednesday, September 30, 2020

  Mr. OLSON. Madam Speaker, I rise today to commend Wesley Yuen, a 
junior at Clements High School from my hometown of Sugar Land, who has 
helped us combat the spread of COVID-19 in space.
  This summer, Wesley was selected to attend NASA's Student Enhancement 
in Earth and Space Science internship for two months at the University 
of Texas, Austin. He was one of around 60 high school students selected 
from a pool of 600 applicants. Wesley and his team successfully 
researched how to stop the spread of coronavirus between astronauts 
going between Earth and the ISS using the few materials they have. This 
valuable work will help set the rules for safe space exploration for 
decades to come.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas and 
America, I thank Wesley for his hard work. He has a bright future 
ahead, and I wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.
