  Mr. STARK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the students in Mr. 
Skip Mohatt's civics class at Amador Valley High School in Pleasanton, 
CA. These students recently placed first in Sacramento, CA, to win the 
statewide ``We the People'' civics class competition.
  Amador Valley High School and Mr. Mohatt have had a long history of 
success in this competition. This is the third year in a row that 
Amador Valley High Students have come in first and the fourth time in 5 
years that they have won the State title. Last year, Amador Valley High 
School was the national champion. I want to commend Mr. Mohatt and his 
students for this extraordinary achievement and to wish the class luck. 
They are here to defend their national championship title in 2 weeks.
  I would like to take this opportunity to mention the students by 
name, In alphabetical order, the 1996 California State champions are: 
Evan Anderson, Jamie Bartlett, Matthew Brehm, Jarold Bunas, MacKenzie 
Bundgard, Erin Callahan, Michael Campbell, Ryan Darst, Leah Dellanini, 
Chad Duffy, Heather Erskine, Jared Fixmer, Michelle Gilbert, Kristin 
Johnson, Erin Kettwig, Beatrice Korbel, Jason Lew, David Loughnot, 
Abimbola Majekodunmi, Christina Nystrom, Tina O'Keefe, Angie Picco, 
Bill Reaugh, Joseph Sabbagh, Olivia San wong, Christine Splitt, Paula 
Tee, Randall Wat, Eric Willett, and Katrine Wilson.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope that you and my colleagues will join me in 
congratulating these students on their recent first place finish and to 
wish them luck in the upcoming competition.
