  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, congratulations to the fifty-four 
students from Sacred Heart Senior High School in Salina, Kansas for 
their upcoming participation in ``The Red Road Travel/Study Tour.'' 
This experience will include performances at a series of Native 
American reservation schools in South Dakota from March 16-19, 2003. I 
commend each of these students for their hard work and success: James 
Andrewson, David Arpin, Sarah Arpin, Matthew Bachofer, Shannon Bechard, 
Kyle Berens, Stephanie Bieker, Hillary Blue, Kelly Breckunitch, Matt 
Broberg, Danielle Budreau, Jennifer Budreau, Jason Bulliegh, Katey 
Clark, Jason Curran, Kyle Davis, Alan Deneault, Courtney Ducharme, 
Lauren Ducharme, Christina Fekas, Shandra Francis, Vanessa Greene, 
Carissa Helvey, Emily Henke, Jessica Herbic, Alex Hernandez, Adria 
Jerkovich, Anne Kelly, Jessica Kelly, Andy Kinard, Matt Kienda, Jeff 
Koetting, Abby Luetters, James McKee, Mary Kate McKee, J.J. Neubauer, 
Ashley O'Brien, Jessica Polich, Michael Ratcliff, Susan Riordan,

Schoel, Kristen St. John, Marisol Sternke, Janell Straub, Jennifer 
Suelter, Raul Vasquez, Sarah Vermillion, Tyler Vishnefske, Megan Wells, 
Lauren Zey.
  ``The Red Road Travel/Study Tour'' is the latest event in a series 
which provides performance and educational opportunities for students. 
Paramount to this tour is the opportunity for these young people to 
experience a unique and different culture, while expressing good will 
through their musical talents.
  I would also like to recognize their director, Milt Allen, for 
helping prepare these young musicians. Mr. Allen's commitment and 
dedication to nurture and encourage our youth shines through the 
accomplishments of his students. The First Congressional district is 
proud to be represented by Sacred Heart Senior High School in this 
meaningful program. I commend Mr. Allen for his excellent job promoting 
education and the arts among the youth of Kansas.
  It is an honor to recognize such a meritorious group.
