                          HON. DALE E. KILDEE

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 29, 1996

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues in the 
House of Representatives to join me in paying tribute to the great 
accomplishments of the members of the U.S. First Team. The team 
consists of 32 students and 7 faculty members from Pontiac Central High 
School, that is located in my district. The U.S. First Team, is also 
comprised of 28 engineers from Delphi Interior Lighting Systems. I am 
proud to inform my colleagues that the U.S. First Team, from Pontiac 
Central High School, received the coveted National All Star Rookie of 
the Year Award, during the 5th Annual U.S. First Competition, in 
Orlando, FL. The team has also been honored by receiving the Worchester 
Polytechnical Institution [WPI] design innovations scholarship.
  The hard work and dedication of the team is reflected in the fact 
that more than 96 teams from all over the country were involved in the 
national competition. Their success is a remarkable display of what can 
be accomplished when people work together toward a common goal.
  Mr. Speaker, I am truly honored to be able to recognize the 
outstanding achievements of each of the members of the Pontiac Northern 
High School U.S. First Team. They deserve the title of national 
winners. I know the entire U.S. House of Representatives joins me today 
in honoring this fine group of Americans.
