                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 28, 1999

  Mr. KLECZKA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to proudly recognize 12 
outstanding students from Heritage Christian High School in West Allis, 
Wisconsin and their teacher, Mr. Tim Moore, who are representing the 
State of Wisconsin in the national finals of the 1999 ``We the People . 
. . The Citizen and the Constitution'' competition in Washington, DC.
  This is the third time that a class from Heritage has been named 
State of Wisconsin champions in this exceptional program sponsored by 
the Center for Civic Education and developed to educate young people 
about the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Mr. Moore and his 
students have worked diligently to reach the national finals and have 
gained an impressive understanding of the fundamental principles and 
values of our constitutional democracy.
  This year's representatives from Heritage are: John Averkamp, Brent 
Barnett, Maureen Buchanan, Tim Cady, Tara Flood, Mike Frede, Mike 
Gruennert, Josh Lutter, Jessica Mobley, Justin Roeder, Luke Sinclair, 
and Anthony Slamar.
  I ask the House to please join me in congratulating Mr. Moore and his 
students in winning the State of Wisconsin ``We the People . . .'' 
championship, and wish them continued success in the national finals. I 
look forward to greeting them personally when they visit the U.S. 
Capitol.
