The Congressional Record is a unique source of public documentation. It started in 1873, documenting nearly all the major and minor policies being discussed and debated.
“UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH STUDENTS HAVE ENTERED THIS YEAR'S DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SOLAR DECATHLON” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the Extensions of Remarks section on pages E1965 on Sept. 28, 2005.

UNIVERSITY OF MASSACHUSETTS DARTMOUTH STUDENTS HAVE ENTERED THIS YEAR'S
DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY SOLAR DECATHLON
______
HON. BARNEY FRANK
of massachusetts
in the house of representatives
Wednesday, September 28, 2005
Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments of a gifted group of students from the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth who have designed and built an entry at this year's Department of Energy Solar Decathlon.
The Solar Decathlon brings 18 college and university teams to participate in this innovative solar competition to design, build, and operate the most attractive and energy-efficient solar-powered home. Student teams built their solar houses on their respective campuses and will transport them to the National Mall in Washington, DC, where they will form a solar village on the National Mall.
The solar village is open to the public October 7-16, 2005. The teams' solar houses are open for touring every day except October 12, when they are closed for competition purposes. An overall winner will be announced on October 14.
I especially wanted to note that after the competition the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth Solar Decathlon Team will be donating their solar home to Habitat For Humanity where it will be permanently installed in Northeast DC as a Habitat-provided home. I'm proud to have the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth in my district and to represent these bright young people who have worked so hard to draw attention to the benefits of alternative energy.
