                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, May 1, 1995
  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, today I wish to recognize an outstanding 
group of students from Central Missouri State University's forensics 
team. The forensics team recently won the national 39th biannual Pi 
Kappa Delta National Tournament. The tournament was held from March 22-
25, 1995 at Louisiana State University in Shreveport.
  Pi Kappa Delta is a national honorary fraternity that symbolizes the 
benefits of a forensics education. Twenty-three students represented 
Central Missouri State University in the competition. The team placed 
first in debate and second in individual events, winning 32 individual 
event awards. This is the first national championship in the team's 73-
year history.
  I know that the Members of this body join me in congratulating the 
Central Missouri State University forensics team for their 
accomplishment. The students on the forensics team should be applauded 
for all the hard work, dedication, and perseverance it took to win the 
tournament.
