 MR. TIM MOORE AND THE STUDENTS OF HERITAGE CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL ARE

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GERALD D. KLECZKA

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 24, 1998

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize truly outstanding 
students from West Allis, WI. Together with their teacher, Mr. Tim 
Moore, a group of students from Heritage Christian High School united 
hard work and dedication and have been judged this year's State of 
Wisconsin `We the People' champions.
  Heritage Christian High School students have consistently succeeded 
at the `We the People' competitions, this year being the second time in 
recent years that a group has emerged victorious from the event. This 
consistency is no accident, and would not be possible without an 
impassioned interest by both Mr. Moore and his students in the 
Constitution of our nation.
  The `We the People' program, funded by the U.S. Department of 
Education by an act of Congress, compels students to critically examine 
our Nation's Constitution and provides an arena in which students can 
explore the intricacies of the document. With the help of a team of 
volunteers from outside the school, the students studied the history of 
the document and considered its present day applications.
  I would like to again congratulate Mr. Moore and the students from 
Heritage Christian High School, and wish them continued success in this 
year's national competition in Washington, D.C.
