 KAHUKU HIGH SCHOOL FINALISTS IN ``WE THE PEOPLE . . . THE CITIZEN AND 
                           THE CONSTITUTION''

 Mr. AKAKA. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
outstanding accomplishments of the students from Kahuku High School. 
Ms. Sandra Cashman, along with her students, Ursula Aiu, Dana Barnhill, 
Beth Frederick, Amber Grigsby, Kalli Kamauoha, Maria Kritikos, Larie 
Langi, Nadya Leinau, Kimberly Miller, Marci Ostrowski, Christian 
Palmer, Jesse Palmer, Ian Parnell, Taliana Pasi, Mariaha Peters, Emily 
Shumway, Maren Smith, Leah Taala, Israel Temple, Carrie Tilley, and 
Kanani Yang, represented the State of Hawaii at this year's ``We the 
People . . . the Citizen and the Constitution'' national finals.
  ``We the People . . . the Citizen and the Constitution,'' 
administered by the Center for Civil Education, is the most 
comprehensive program ever developed to assist students in 
understanding the history and principles of the U.S. Constitution and 
the Bill of Rights. Students who participate in this program learn the 
important responsibilities Americans must uphold to ensure the future 
of our democracy. It is only through the understanding of our 
Constitution and the Bill of Rights that we will be able to perpetuate 
the democratic foundation upon which this great Nation was built.
  The national competition, held in Washington, DC, from April 30 
through May 2, 1994, brought together the best and brightest students 
from 47 classes throughout the Nation. These dedicated young people 
demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the fundamental ideals and 
values of America's constitutional government. For the second straight 
year, Kahuku High School has won the State competition and the honor of 
representing Hawaii at the national competition. I would like to 
commend the students and faculty of Kahuku High School for their 
outstanding achievements.
