   WE THE PEOPLE . . . THE CITIZENS AND THE CONSTITUTION COMPETITION

 Mr. CLELAND. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
following students of Dunwoody High School in Dunwoody, GA, and their 
teacher for their excellent performance in the We the People . . . The 
Citizens and the Constitution: Deno Adkins, Leslie Alterman, Chuck 
Askew, Querida Brisbane, John Brown, Alice Bui, Kevin Campbell, Carrie 
Chu, Jeff Guggenheim, Susie Ham, Adam Hassler, Judy Hong, Michael 
Landis, Rachel Moore, Regan O'Boyle, Youn Park, Kim Pham, Ahmer Siddiq, 
David Stewart, Adam Tate, Brad Thomas, David Tran, Christin Voytko, 
Morhan Willis, Brent Wolkin, and teacher Celeste Boemker. I would also 
like to recognize the efforts of the State coordinator, Michele Collins 
and district coordinator, John Carr, who helped these students make it 
to the finals.
  This bright young group of students competed against 50 other classes 
from around the Nation, testing their knowledge of the U.S. 
Constitution and our Government. They spent hours roleplaying and 
testing to prepare themselves for this competition. This 3-day program 
simulates a congressional hearing in which students' presentations are 
judged on the basis of their knowledge of constitutional principles and 
their ability to apply them to historical and contemporary issues.
  Mr. President, it is with great pride that I offer my congratulations 
to these students from Dunwoody High School for their outstanding 
performance at the We the People competition, and wish them continuing 
success with their future studies.
