    MORGAN VILLAGE MIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS VISIT TO WASHINGTON, D.C.
 Mr. LAUTENBERG, Mr. President, on Friday, May 19, 1995, a 
group of students from Camden, NJ, visited Washington, DC, to learn 
about their Government in our Nation's capital. Approximately 100 of my 
constituents, from Morgan Village Middle School, traveled from my home 
State of New Jersey and met with representatives from my office and 
other agencies. Unfortunately, only half of this group was able to 
visit the U.S. Senate gallery to personally witness a historic vote and 
observe the procedures of the Senate.
  I regret that I was unable to meet with these future leaders myself, 
and I very much regret some of them could not get into the Senate 
gallery. I encourage all of them to continue pursuing their interest in 
government and politics, for their involvement will determine the 
future of our country. I am gratified to know that young people are 
learning about the important issues facing our country and the world 
today. They should be commended for their concern about the impact 
today's legislation will have on the future. We must all recognize that 
the views and concerns of our youth are of the utmost importance, and I 
hope they will continue to share them with their elected 
representatives as they grow older.
