  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, today I want to congratulate the 
extraordinary young people that excelled in the 2001 Ohio Youth Hunter 
Education Challenge.
  This respectable program is a comprehensive youth program of outdoor 
skills and safety training for young hunters who have completed hunter-
safety training at the state-or provincial-level. Developed by the 
National Rifle Association in 1985, volunteer hunting education 
instructors provide expertise and hands-on training in various methods 
of take and game. The Challenge offers young people the opportunity to 
show their knowledge and ability, which was earned through hard work 
and dedication.
  The following is a list of this year's winners:
