          CARDOZO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL'S CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLARS

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 1997

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, students from Cardozo Senior High School 
gave an outstanding performance in the national finals competition ``We 
the People . . . The Citizens and the Constitution National Academic 
Program'' which is administered by the Center for Civic Education.
  These talented young students competed against 50 other classes from 
throughout the Nation and demonstrated a working knowledge of the 
fundamental ideas and values of the American constitutional government. 
The national finals competition simulated a congressional hearing where 
students testified as constitutional experts before a panel of judges.
  I want to encourage these promising Cardozo Senior High School 
constitutional scholars Davida Baldwin, Ta Hoang, Andrea Jones. Thomas 
Richardson, Suleimon Shifaw, Tiffany Simms, Antoinette Stephenson, 
Zerai Kifle, Quana Teleferro, Levi Ruffin, Veronica Nguyen, and Toan 
Vu. I want to also salute Mr. Bruce Pendleton for utilizing strong 
learning patterns in teaching American Government.
  I ask that this body join me in congratulating these young people, 
Mr. Bruce Pendleton, and the District of Columbia Coordinator, Sharon 
Yohannes-Bocar on this worthy accomplishment.
