  Mrs. MINK of Hawaii. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my 
heartiest congratulations to the students at Kahuku High and 
Intermediate School in Kahuku, Hawaii on winning the Region 1 award at 
the We the People . . . the Citizen and the Constitution national 
finals held in Washington, DC, May 6-8, 2000.
  This prestigious award is presented to the school in each of five 
geographic regions with the highest cumulative score during the first 
two days of the national finals. These outstanding young people 
competed against 50 other classes from throughout the nation and 
demonstrated a remarkable understanding of the fundamental ideas and 
values of American constitutional government.
  The Kahuka High and Intermediate team--Cady Albert, Stephen Allred, 
Amber Alvarez, Brandon Barker, Ben Burroughs, Travis Cameron, Lauren 
Day, Nicole Francisco, Janae Hanson, Shin Ho, Erik Kokkonen, Michael 
Lau, Jason Ludlow, Shantel Musick, Ryan Nielson, Jon Robertson, Steven 
Robertson, Heather Sandison, Mea Shimizu, Jennifer Sickler, and Noa 
Walker--bring great honor to their school, their teachers, and to the 
State of Hawaii. I also take this opportunity to commend their teacher 
Sandra Cashman, State Coordinator Lyla Berg, and District Coordinator 
Sharon Kaohi on this marvelous achievement.
  I want to recognize and thank the Center for Civic Education, which 
conducts the We the People program, for providing this wonderful 
program for our young people. We the People . . . The Citizen and the 
Constitution reaches more than 26 million students at elementary, 
middle, and high schools.
