    CONGRATULATIONS TO MONTANA COMPETITORS IN THE ``WE THE PEOPLE'' 
                              COMPETITION

 Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, from April 30 to May 2, more than 
1,200 students from around the country will be here in Washington, DC, 
to compete in the national finals of the We the People * * * The 
Citizen and the Constitution program. I am proud to announce that the 
class from Polson High School, from Polson, MT, will represent Big Sky 
Country.
  These young people have worked hard to reach the national finals, and 
I applaud them: Justin Allison, Jason Bird, Jenni Davies, Eric Dickson, 
Brooke Doepke, Tosha Doornek, Ceth Eslick Scott Evje, Kristal Hanson, 
Jay Healy, Machelle Hoffman, Wes Hunt, Raina Huntley, Tina Kinshella, 
Heather Knutson, Hoke Lytton, Lori Masciullo, Geoff Ramsay, Maribeth 
San Pedro, Mindy Schliep, Jennifer Shoumaker, Tom Stiles, Jarod Tait, 
Melissa Targerson, Steve Vanden Bos, Jamie Veis, and Kryss Winebrenner.
  The student's teacher, Bob Hislop, also deserves a pat on the back 
for his hard work, as do the district coordinator, Sue Suiter, and the 
State coordinator, Linda Vrooman Peterson.
  The We the People * * * The Citizen and the Constitution program, is 
the most extensive educational program in the country developed 
specifically to educate young people about the Constitution and the 
Bill of Rights. The 3-day academic competition gives students the 
chance to demonstrate their knowledge before a panel of prominent 
professionals from across the country.
  This program, now in its 6th year, has reached over 20,100,000 
students in thousands of elementary, middle, and high schools 
nationwide.
  Again, my congratulations to this fine group of Montanans--and I wish 
them the best of luck in the competition. May the best team 
win.
