                      COMMENDING OKLAHOMA STUDENTS

 Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I would like to briefly comment on 
an exceptional group of students from my State

[[Page S4700]]

of Oklahoma. Recently, a group of students from Tahlequah High School 
in Tahlequah, OK, participated in the national finals of ``We The 
People . . . The Citizens and the Constitution.'' These students 
traveled here to Washington, DC for the final competition after 
excelling in the preliminary stages.
  This contest is held for students who have a remarkable knowledge of 
American history. The group includes Chris Augerhole, J.R. Baker, Chad 
Blish, Ryan Cannonie, Taylor Gibson, Carlton Heard, Cobin Heard, Zach 
Israel, Doug Kirk, Helena Loose, Lacie Newman, Tim Pace, Rebecca 
Walker, Derek Whaler, Brandon Zellner and their teacher Norma Boren.
  These young Oklahomans demonstrated their ability to articulate the 
ideals of American government while taking part in a simulated 
congressional hearing.
  I commend these students for their outstanding achievement.
