        FOUR SOUTH CAROLINA STUDENTS TO PRESENT HISTORY PROJECTS

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, I wish to congratulate four 
Cheraw, SC, students who will be in Washington, DC tomorrow exhibiting 
their history projects as part of National History Day.
  These young historians were selected out of more than half a million 
from across America, and they are bringing with them months of 
research. They earned the trip by showing they are the best of the 
best, and our State and Nation are better off for their hard work. When 
young people, on their own, want to understand the fundamental 
principles and values of our democracy, they are more likely to vote. 
They are more likely to participate in public service. They are more 
likely to take seriously the civic commitment this nation needs in the 
new century.
  I wish the very best to Bryan Blair, whose exhibit is ``The 
Orangeburg Massacre: Revolution, Reaction, and Reform in South 
Carolina''; and to Meagan Linton, Mary Hudson, and Jordan Thomas, whose 
exhibit is: ``Tears of Sorrow or Tears of Joy: Reaction to the 
Assassination of Abraham Lincoln.''
