                                PEOPLE''

                                 ______


                         HON. CHRISTOPHER SHAYS

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. SHAYS. Mr. Speaker, from April 30 to May 2, the Center for Civic 
Education will be holding its national finals for students of its ``We 
the People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution'' curriculum in 
Washington, DC. Students from one school in each State will showcase 
their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights.
  This nationally acclaimed program fosters civic competence and 
responsibility. The ``We the People . . .'' curriculum helps students 
understand the history and principles of our Government.
  I am very proud to have a school from Connecticut's Fourth 
Congressional District, Trumbull High School, representing our State. 
The students of Trumbull High will be among 1,200 students competing 
for the honor of being our country's national winner.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate 
the students and teachers of Trumbull High School on their impressive 
knowledge and understanding of our great Constitution and wish all the 
competing students good luck.
