                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 10, 2003

  Mr. CASE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer my heartiest 
congratulations to the students and teachers of Kahuku Intermediate and 
High School on the beautiful North Shore of Oahu, HI, on their 
outstanding achievements in the 2003 We the People: the Citizen and the 
Constitution National Competition.
  The We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution national 
competition is an annual series of contests that not only teaches 
students the tenets of democracy and constitutionalism, but also 
actively involves them in the dynamics of democracy at work. This 
knowledge and firsthand exposure to the workings of our government is 
critical to developing in our youth a commitment to democratic norms, 
procedures, and outcomes.
  In the national finals competition, our Kahuku students demonstrated 
their superb expertise on Unit Three: Constitution Shapes Institutions, 
and won an award for achieving the highest cumulative score during the 
first two days of the national finals. Adriana Alghussein, Daniel 
Allen, Dexter Bacon, Nicole Cameron, Ariane Cameros, LiHsieh Chen, 
Anthony Ching, William Ellis, Brook Jones, Shantel Kaululaau, April 
Kristen Sickler, Bethany Smith, Erika Staples, and Elizabeth Torres 
from Kahuku Intermediate and High School won under the supervision of 
their teacher Sandra Cashman, State Coordinator Lyla Berg and District 
Coordinator Sharon Kaohi.
  Today, I am proud to congratulate these students from Kahuku 
Intermediate and High School on their marvelous achievement. I also 
commend the teachers and parents who made this success possible with 
their support and warm encouragement.
