            COMMENDATION OF DERRICK EIHAUSEN AND CHRIS PFLUG

                                 ______


                         HON. JERRY F. COSTELLO

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. COSTELLO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Derrick Eihausen 
and Chris Pflug of Belleville Township High School. The two are 
students at Belleville Township High School East in Belleville, IL, and 
recently won the Illinois State two-student debate team title.
  Fifty teams entered the competition in Bloomington, IL, where the 
topic was ``Resolved: That the federal government should guarantee 
comprehensive national health insurance to all United States 
citizens.'' Chris and Derrick argued the negative position in the final 
round, and the five-judge panel voted 3-2 in favor of the team from 
Belleville. It is the high school's first-ever debate championship.
  I ask my colleagues to join me as I salute Derrick Eihausen and Chris 
Pflug for the tremendous skill and dedication they displayed in winning 
the Illinois State two-student debate team championship.
