  CONGRATULATIONS TO STUDENTS OF THE SHADES VALLEY RESOURCE LEARNING 
                                 CENTER

  Mr. HEFLIN. Madam President, I want to take a moment to salute and 
congratulate a teacher and a group of students from the Shades Valley 
Resource Learning Center in Birmingham, AL. They recently won an award 
for their expertise in the area of extension of rights at the national 
competition of the ``We the People . . . The Citizen and the 
Constitution Program.''
  They competed against 47 other schools from all across America. The 
students exhibited a remarkable understanding of the fundamental values 
of American constitutional government. Schools receive the award by 
competing in national finals in each of the six units of the ``With 
Liberty and Justice for All'' text. The competition, which simulates a 
congressional hearing, was held in Washington, DC, April 30, to May 2, 
1994. The program is administered by the Center for Civic Education, 
and is the most extensive of its kind to help students understand 
American Government.
  The Shades Valley students who received this honor were Roger 
Armstrong, Katie Bates, Kelly Bearden, Emily Bell, Melissa Bess, Kate 
Bishop, Kevin Chance, Roy Clarkson, Minal Delwadia, Jonathan Denton, 
Sarah Eastman, Julie Ezelle, Clay Farris, Alisa Fyfe, Carin Glover, 
Howard Hsu, Pam Jackson, Jason Lagory, Sima Lal, Reed Lochamy, George 
Ma, Patrick Morgan, Supriti Paul, David Pitts, Shoshana Potts, Krista 
Poole, Dawud Rasheed, Carla Segars, Cheryl Sellers, Sara Shepherd, 
Jemeka Stallworth, Brett Stanley, and Bryan Woods. Their teacher Linda 
Mays Jones did an outstanding job preparing her class for the 
competition.
  These students' achievement reflects what is best about American 
education. Their hard work and determination paid off in the form of 
this well deserved recognition.
