                                of utah

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. ORTON. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to announce that Orem High School 
has won the honor of representing the State of Utah at the National 
competition of the ``We the People. . . The Citizen and the 
Constitution'' program.
  This competition, supported and funded by Congress, 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 national competition simulates a congressional hearing in which 
students' oral presentations are judged on the basis of their knowledge 
of constitutional principles and their ability to apply them to 
historical and contemporary issues.
  The distinguished members of the team representing Utah are: Alison 
Bergeson, Jeremy Bingham, Branden Bunker, Julie Cardon, Rebecca Conrad, 
James Davis, David Farmer, Kathryn Frame, JoEllen Hansen, Nathan 
Holdaway, Derek Jensen, J.J. Larsen, Tyler Mitchell, Wayne Mitchell, 
James Peterson, Michael Phaysey, Chad Snelson, Helen Stoddard, Kell 
Summers, Eric Taylor, Jaime Tucker, and Travis Wilde.
  I would also like to recognize their teacher, William Gillespie, who 
deserves much of the credit for the success of the team. The district 
coordinator, Shirley Garfield, and the State coordinator, Rulon 
Garfield, also contributed a significant amount of time and effort to 
help the team reach the national finals.
