                    TRIBUTE TO TRUMBULL HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
extraordinary accomplishment of a group of young people from my home 
State of Connecticut. The following students from Trumbull High School, 
accompanied by their teacher Rita Altieri, participated in the national 
finals of the We The People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution 
program in Washington, DC from April 30-May 2 where they were 
successful in winning the unit award for their outstanding 
comprehension of the first amendment: Jean Baiardi, Jeffrey Burns, 
Ashley Coyne, Jessica Devine, Lisa DiDomenico, Brian DiStassio, Jaime 
Felberbaum, Dana Heitlinger, Alison Kelly, Erin Kelly, Julie Klunk, 
Cheryl Konopka, Roudabeh Latifpour, Ricardo Luzietti, James Maricondo, 
Steven Merrick, Bianca Milazzo, Brian Noehren, Rena Paris, Matthew 
Park, Perry Rountos, Matthew Sewell, Erica Silverman, Sara Usilton, 
Sujal Vaidyam, David Weisman, Sondra Weiss, Bret Wiener, Stacey 
Wilcoxson, and John Zbell.
  These exceptional students competed against 47 classes from 
throughout the country and emerged as the classroom with the greatest 
overall understanding of the first amendment to the Constitution of the 
United States. The competition resembles the structure of a 
congressional hearing and was developed and hosted by the Center for 
Civic Education. The purpose of the program is to foster understanding, 
interest, and participation in the American political process of 
representative democracy.
  The students from Trumbull High School, whose names appear above, 
have distinguished themselves in this unique forum of learning. Their 
excellent work in this program will help prepare them to be leaders in 
our democracy. Their success in the program deserves the recognition 
and appreciation of the people of Connecticut and the Nation at 
large.
