  Mr. BLILEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the outstanding 
performance of the Governor's School for Government and International 
Studies in Richmond, Virginia in the ``We the People * * * the Citizen 
and the Constitution'' national finals held in Washington, DC, over May 
2-4.
  After beating other school teams on the State level, these talented, 
hard-working students went on to compete against 49 other classes from 
across the nation. The performance demonstrated their remarkable 
understanding of the fundamental ideals and values embodied in the 
Constitution and the United States government.
  I commend students Anne Carpenter, Tiffanie Chan, Amy Depcrynski, 
Beky Dohogne, Chris Farrell, Melanie Forbes, Shannon Goodwyn, Jennifer 
Gunter, Lauren Hamilton, Mason Hedgecoth, Zoe Heiberger, Serena Homes, 
Chris Kessler, Mat Reynolds, Takeisa Rowlett, Derick Russell, Sada 
Smith, Anne Sommers, Amol Tripathi, Mei Hwa Yeh and their teacher 
Philip Sorrentino on this achievement.
