                       Wednesday, March 10, 2004

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, today, I would like to extend my warmest 
congratulations to Lake Highlands High School in Dallas, TX, on the 
occasion of their 40th anniversary.
  Education is one of the most important issues facing the future of 
our great Nation. If America is to continue to be the leader of the 
modern world, we must offer a solid educational foundation for our 
citizens. To succeed in school and life, every student needs a basic 
set of skills. They need to listen attentively, speak persuasively, 
read with understanding, and write with command.

  Over the past 40 years, Lake Highlands High School has maintained a 
commitment to academic, athletic and artistic excellence and community 
service. Lake Highlands High School has produced 17 National Merit 
Finalists in the last 2 years alone, along with district championships 
in nearly every athletic competition offered.
  Since I was elected to Congress, I have visited Lake Highlands High 
School many times. Clearly, Lake Highlands High School is an 
institution dedicated to offering students a well-rounded education and 
an opportunity to become genuine leaders.
  As the Congressman for the Fifth Congressional District of Texas, I 
am very proud to represent Lake Highlands High School, it's teachers 
and it's students. I would like to offer my congratulations to their 
administrators, alumni, coaches, students, and parents on this 
momentous occasion and best wishes for their continued success.
