 Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of an outstanding group of

young people from Massabesic High School in Waterboro, ME. This group 
of 20 students represented Maine in the national finals of ``We the 
People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution'' in Washington, DC, May 
4-6, 2002. The students from Massabesic High School demonstrated 
teamwork and dedication to reach this milestone and represented Maine 
ably and with determination. During the competition, students from 50 
classrooms across the country put their skills to the test 
demonstrating their understanding of the values and ideas embodied in 
American constitutional government.
  I would like to recognize the participating students, Allie Auger, 
Kirsten Benham, John Blow, Selina Carter, Alyssa Daniels, Scott Doyle, 
Brian Dupee, Kaleigh Gerity, Tucker Gilman, Matt Kimball, Matt Krueger, 
Aaron Libby, Eric Matheson, Bri Morin, Glen Petrarca, Meghan Roubo, Joe 
Rousseau, Jason Roy, Courtney Strout, and Dawn Theriault for their 
persistence, dedication, and drive. I also stand to recognize the 
dedication and work of their teacher, Joseph Wagner, the district 
coordinator, David Ezhaya, and the state coordinator, Julia Underwood.
  I am very proud to recognize the efforts and accomplishments of this 
exceptional group of students from Maine and bring their achievement to 
the attention of the Senate.
