                           TAHOMA HIGH SCHOOL

 Mrs. MURRAY. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a class 
of students from Tahoma High School in Maple Valley, Washington who are 
the champions of the Region One--Western States award of the ``We the 
People . . . the Citizen and the Constitution'' national finals. This 
outstanding group

earned the highest cumulative score in their geographic region during 
the first two days of the ``Citizen and the Constitution'' national 
finals, competing against 50 other classes from across the country. 
Their remarkable understanding and appreciation of the fundamental 
ideals and values of American constitutional government assure me that 
this emerging generation will contribute much to the future of civic 
life.
  These Tahoma High School students serve as role models to their 
peers, not only by expressing their views and arguments in a poised and 
mature manner, but also by expressing them as they relate to 
government. I commend these students on beginning this important civic 
dialogue at an early age, and sincerely hope that they make it a life-
long commitment. The honored students, led by Mark Oglesby, are: Adam 
Baldridge, Mary Basinger, Josh Bodily, Sydney Brumbach, Katie Carder, 
Erica Chavez, Elizabeth Dauenhauer, Steven Dekoker, Meaghan Denney, 
Nathan Dill, Marisa Dorazio, Jesse Duncan, Jayson Hart, Jon Hellstom, 
Carolyn Hott, Daniel Lindner, Casey Lineberger, Clark Lundberg, Karrie 
Pilgrim, Michael Pirog, David Rosales, Jason Shinn, Jeremy Sloan, 
Justin Sly, Donny Trieu, Orianna Tucker, Jessica Walker, Raymond 
Williams, and Elizabeth Zaleski.
