                        Thursday, March 20, 1997

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to the Palos Verdes 
Peninsula High School's Academic Decathlon team, which took fourth 
place statewide and first place in its division during last weekend's 
California Academic Decathlon held in Pomona, CA.
  This nine-member team earned 44,540 points in events designed to test 
academic knowledge in areas ranging from economics to science. They 
came away with 29 gold, silver, and bronze medals for various events 
and overall performance. In addition, one of the team members, Chris 
Luhrs, scored the most points of any student in Peninsula's division.
  I am proud to represent these intelligent and talented students, and 
I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating them and their 
families for their achievements.
