  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, once again, I come to the floor to 
recognize the great success of strong local school systems working with 
dedicated parents and teachers. I rise today to congratulate and honor 
59 outstanding high school artists from the 11th Congressional District 
of New Jersey. Each of these talented students participated in the 
Annual Congressional Arts Competition, ``An Artistic Discovery,'' 
sponsored by Schering-

Plough Corporation. They were recently honored at a reception and

  As you know, Mr. Speaker, each year the winner of the competition 
will have the opportunity to travel to Washington, D.C. to meet 
Congressional Leaders and to mount his or her artwork in a special 
corridor of the U.S. Capitol along with winners from across the 
country. This year, first place went to Andres Rivera of Ridge High 
School. Second place went to Lisa Genovese of Morris Hills High School, 
who was also selected by Schering-Plough employees and attendees of the 
show to receive the People's Choice Award. Stephanie Bryan of Ridge 
High School was awarded third place. In addition, seven other 
submissions received honorable mention by the judges, Young Lee, Sean 
Bono, Meredith Klein, Mike Yang, Larissa Stec, Julie Jun, and Larissa 
Schaffnit.
  Indeed, all of these young artists are winners, and we should be 
proud of their achievements so early in life.
