CONGRATULATIONS TO EAST HIGH SCHOOL, FINALIST IN THE WE THE PEOPLE . . 
                   . THE CITIZEN AND THE CONSTITUTION

 Mr. ALLARD. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
students from East High School in Denver, CO who participated in the 
``We the People . . . the Citizen and the Constitution finals held here 
in our Nation's Capital, May 2-4, 1998. East High School competed 
against 49 other classes from across the Nation. Their hard work was 
rewarded with an Honorable mention as one of the top ten finalists in 
the competition.
  I am always pleased when I have the opportunity to come to the Senate 
floor to praise students that have taken an interest in their 
government and their Constitution. By taking part in this competition, 
the students of East High School have served to strengthen the 
foundation of our democracy.
  Mr. President, I would like to congratulate the participants, Daniel 
Berson, Lisa Bianco, Rosemary Blosser, Tristan Bridges, John Patrick 
Crum, Jessica Dismang, Belle Duggan, Sterling Ekwo, Heidi Gehret, Sarah 
Givens, Jamaal Harmon, Courtney Hopley, Scott Kronewitter, Melanie 
McRae, Jennifer Newman, Gavin Rember, Jennifer Roche, Sarah Showalter, 
Jessica Slenger, Lauren Strickland, Matthew Vellone, Feliz Ventura, 
Michaela Welch, and their teacher Ms. Deanna Morrison for doing such a 
fine job of representing Colorado.
  I cannot overstate the achievements of these young people, they are 
some of the best and brightest that America has to offer. I am proud to 
say that I, along with all Coloradans, congratulate East High School on 
a job well done.
