            TRIBUTE TO THE STUDENTS OF HEMPFIELD HIGH SCHOOL

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I rise today to commend some 
students from Landisville, PA, for their outstanding effort in the We 
the People. . . . The Citizens and the Constitution national finals.
  In this competition, 20 students from Hempfield High School 
participated in a simulated congressional hearing. Testifying as 
constitutional experts, they argued points of law before a panel of 
judges. By all accounts, they demonstrated a remarkable understanding 
of the American constitutional government.
  Mr. President, I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating Paul 
Brewer, Lauren Charles, Benjamin Coons, Andrew Fergusson, Michael 
Hollinger, Noah Hunt, Derrick Karimi, Rebecca Kinsey, Benjamin 
Kornfield, Nathaniel Kraft, Rachel Moore, Derick Mundey, Elizabeth 
Myers, Megan Newcomer, Alison Miebanck, Jessica Petocz, Stella Reno, 
Melissa Sanders, David Stairs, and Brandon Zeigler, and their teacher 
Elaine Savukas for their outstanding performance. I urge these young 
people to use the knowledge they acquired from this experience to 
continue upholding the principles that have made this country 
great.
