                                 ______
                                 

         CONGRATULATING WE THE PEOPLE PARTICIPANTS FROM WYOMING

 Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, on April 21-23, 2001 more than 1,200 
students from across the United States met in Washington, D.C. to 
compete in the national finals of the ``We the People'', The Citizen 
and the Constitution program. I am proud to report that the class from 
Cheyenne Central High School from Cheyenne represented the State of 
Wyoming in this national event. The fine students in this class 
include: Joe Bergene; Skye Bougsty-Marshall; Cory Bulkley; Michelle 
Cassidy; Ryan Day; Sara De Groot; Chris Heald; Nat Linter; Steve 
Lucero; Geoff Luke; Caroline Morris; Ben Silver; and Annaliese 
Wiederspahn. I would also like to recognize their teacher, Don Morris, 
who deserves much of the credit for the class' success.
  These young scholars worked diligently to reach the national finals 
and through their experience gained a deep knowledge and understanding 
of the fundamental principles of our constitutional democracy.
  I am pleased to have had the opportunity to support the ``We the 
People'' program through my work on the Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions Committee and the reauthorization of the Elementary and 
Secondary Education Act. I am particularly proud to note that the 
Better Education for Students and Teachers Act will allow schools, 
which choose to do so, to use federal funds to incorporate the We the 
People program into their study of civics and American government.
  I once again want to congratulate Don Morris and these students from 
Cheyenne Central High School.
