                 NATIONAL HISPANIC RECOGNITION PROGRAM

  (Mr. GARY MILLER of California asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks and 
include extraneous material.)
  Mr. GARY MILLER of California. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
congratulate 18 outstanding high school seniors in my district who are 
finalists in the National Hispanic Recognition Program.
  These students are among 3,600 high school seniors in the Nation 
selected by the College Board for this honor. They come from the cities 
of Chino, Ontario, Pomona, Upland, Brea, Yorba Linda, Anaheim, Rowland 
Heights, and my home city of Diamond Bar. I know that their families 
and their respective communities are proud of their academic 
accomplishments and their hard work.
  As a representative of the 41st Congressional District in California, 
I can say we are also proud of them and wish them the best in their 
college careers.
  Mr. Speaker, I include their names for the Record. I am sure this is 
not the last time we will hear from these bright young students.

       The scholar finalists are: Arturo Nuno, Naomi Esquibel, 
     Yolanda Robles, Tony Saucedo, Michelle Rodriguez, Henry 
     Artiga, DeAnn Del Rio, Michelle Allis, Erin Freyermuth, 
     Marissa Guerrero, Maria Sequeira, Meredith Garcia, Natalie 
     Alvarado, Michael Espinoza, and Juan Jauregui.
       Honorable mention finalists include: Oscar Teran, Gabriel 
     Bustos, and Nick Yanez.
