                            HON. FRED UPTON

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 13, 1996

  Mr. UPTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to urge my colleagues to join 
with me in congratulating the Kalamazoo Central High School Mock Trial 
Team. They defeated 37 other teams to earn the National High School 
Mock Trial Championship held recently in Pittsburgh, PA.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating students Andrew Fink, 
Joelle Renstrom, Linnaea Eberts, Ursula McTaggart, Aida Hussen, 
Ghislaine Storr, Jordan Klepper, Aash Bhatt Sonya Datta-Sandhu, Nichk 
Dybek, and Coach Sherry Myers, Assistant Coach Keith Platte, and Legal 
Coach Kurt McCamman.
  These students worked hard in preparation for this important event. 
Their many hours of commitment, practice and dedication stand as an 
inspiration to us all. I am confident that we will continue to hear 
great things about these students. We are counting on them to provide 
this Nation with the leadership that will carry us into the next 
century.
  This accomplishment not only says a lot about the student, it also 
speaks well for the Kalamazoo Public School System and the many quality 
people there that are truly making a difference.
  Again, Mr. Speaker, congratulations to Kalamazoo Central High School 
Mock Trial Team, winner of this year's national championship.
