                                 ______


RECOGNITION OF THE TAHOMA HIGH SCHOOL, WE THE PEOPLE * * * THE CITIZEN 
                       AND THE CONSTITUTION TEAM

 Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I would like to extend my 
congratulations to the We the People * * * The Citizen and the 
Constitution team from Tahoma High School, and welcome these 
outstanding students to Washington, DC. As winners of the Washington 
State competition, the students from Tahoma High are here in 
Washington, DC to compete in the national ``We the People'' 
competition.
  The We the People * * * The Citizen and the Constitution program 
focuses on the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights and fosters civic 
competence and responsibility among elementary and secondary school 
students in both public and private schools. The students from Tahoma 
High School should be commended for their diligence and the knowledge 
they have demonstrated of the fundamental principles and values of our 
constitutional democracy. I certainly wish them well in the national 
competition.
