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.
“NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL COMPETITORS” mentioning the U.S. Dept. of Energy was published in the House of Representatives section on pages H3330 on April 16, 2018.
The Department oversees energy policies and is involved in how the US handles nuclear programs. Downsizing the Federal Government, a project aimed at lowering taxes and boosting federal efficiency, said the Department's misguided energy regulations have caused large losses to consumers for decades.

NATIONAL SCIENCE BOWL COMPETITORS
(Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.)
Mrs. WATSON COLEMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the hard work of the students and coaches from two schools in New Jersey's 12th District, West Windsor-Plainsboro High School North and Princeton Charter School, as they advance to compete in the 2018 National Science Bowl.
Sponsored by the Department of Energy, the National Science Bowl is a nationwide academic competition that tests students' knowledge in all areas of science and mathematics. Since its inception in 1991, it has hosted more than 275,000 competitors. These talented young minds from my district will join those ranks, competing for a chance to win funding for their respective schools' science departments.
I wish the coaches and the teams the best of luck as they show off their knowledge, their talent, and their preparation against the country's future science stars.
