                            HON. KEN BENTSEN

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 1995
  Mr. BENTSEN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. David Johnson 
who is celebrating his 25th year as the National Forensic League coach 
at Bellaire High School. Under the direction of Mr. Johnson, Bellaire 
High School has become a highly recognized debate team. Among the many 
awards Bellaire has been honored with are the National Sweepstakes 
trophy, won in 1994 and the Bruno E. Jacob/PKD trophy. Bellaire has 
been awarded the Bruno Jacob trophy more than any other school in the 
Nation.
  Debate teams teach students how to analyze information and prepare 
arguments. I believe this education will serve these students well and 
provide them with leadership training.
  I congratulate Mr. Johnson on his 25-year dedication to Bellaire High 
School and its students. As a committed coach and educator he has 
become a role model to his students and other professionals in the 
education field.
