                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 2003

  Mr. SENSENBRENNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
outstanding performance of Wauwatosa East High School in the We the 
People: The Citizen and the Constitution national finals held here in 
Washington, DC this past April. These exceptional young people competed 
against 48 other teams from across the country, and demonstrated a 
remarkable understanding of the fundamental ideals and values of our 
constitutional government.
  Administered by the Center for Civic Education, the program is one of 
the most extensive of its kind, reaching more than 26 million students 
at the elementary, middle and high schools. The national finals 
competition simulates a Congressional hearing whereby high school 
students testify as Constitutional experts before a panel of judges.
  I wish to express my sincere congratulations, respect, and best 
wishes to Ida Assefa, Stephen Brown, Jon Bzdawka, Michael Chay, Erin 
Curtis, Devin Drobka, Kathryn Finley, Ayesha Hasan, Angela Jarosz, 
Suzanne Jarosz, Margaret Jarvis, Elisabeth Kebbekus, Rebecca Keber, 
Jacob Kriegisch, Laura Krumenauer, Jaclyn Mich, Emily Nell, Meagan 
Parker, Jessica Ried, Heidi Simon, Madeline Smith, Kristina St. 
Charles, Carly Stingl, Sheila Vance, Ignatius Vishnevetsky, Sarah 
Wainscott, Lucas Westaas and their teacher, Beth Ratway.
