ARIZONA ACHIEVERS IN THE 1994 ``WE THE PEOPLE . . . THE CITIZEN AND THE 
                         CONSTITUTION'' PROGRAM

 Mr. DeCONCINI. I would like to extend my congratulations to a 
class of students from Corona del Sol High School in Tempe, AZ, who 
competed in the ``We the People . . . The Citizen and the 
Constitution'' program. The class was among the top 10 winners at the 
national competition, held in Washington, DC, April 30 to May 2, 1994.
  The Center for Civic Education administers the competition to help 
students understand the history and principles of the U.S. Constitution 
and the Bill of Rights. A simulated congressional hearing equips 
students with the tools to participate responsibly in our system of 
government.
  The class from Corona del Sol demonstrated a remarkable understanding 
of the fundamental ideals and values of American constitutional 
Government. Led by teacher Frank Mirizio, these young students competed 
against 47 classes from throughout the Nation: Camila Alarcon, Sean 
Aldous, Suping Ang, Alia Beard, Caroline Bentley, Brad Bowen, Carrie 
Brackett, Bonnie Brooke, Stacey Burdick, Marty Davis, Chris Dible, 
Shannon Dietz, Marney Dillon, Shaudi Divsalar, Mike Garcia, Erin 
Hansen, Stephanie Hartin, Craig Hayden, Brian Hofer, Becky Kimball, 
Jennifer Landis, Coby Larsen, Marie Letellier, Phil McKeown, Zac 
Mortensen, Andy Price, Jeff Rensel, Nathan Sandvig, Johnathan Scheid, 
Karalee Scholes, Jared Speicher, Michelle Stalter, Nghi Vuong, and Erik 
Youngblood.
  As we all know, the future of this Nation lies in the hands of our 
youth. These students exemplify the finest of Arizona's and our 
Nation's youth and deserve to be commended for their achievements. It 
is a pleasure to know that many of these students will become the 
future leaders of tomorrow. I ask my colleagues to join me, along with 
many Arizona citizens, in honoring Mr. Mirizio and his class for 
participating in this event and for their remarkable achievement. They 
are very proud of their accomplishments and we know our future is in 
good hands.
