                        Wednesday, May 12, 2004

  Mr. BASS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize a group of students and 
their teacher from Nashua High School South. After months of studying 
and hard fought competitions, this group proudly represented New 
Hampshire in the national finals of the ``We the People: The Citizen 
and the Constitution'' competition.
  The students demonstrated their understanding of the Constitution 
before simulated congressional committees made up of constitutional 
scholars, lawyers, journalists, and government leaders. Their 
comprehension and knowledge of the founding principals our country is 
established upon earned the team a Unit Award for expertise in the 
``Extension of the Bill of Rights.''
  I ask that my colleagues join me in recognizing these exceptional 
students from New Hampshire along with the more than 1,250 other high 
school students that also participated in the national finals. I 
proudly submit the members of the team for listing in the Congressional 
Record.
  Daniel Aldrich, Rhiannon Campbell, Byron Chicklis, Aaron Chilelli, 
Keith Crouse, Nathan Domingues, Charles Dowdell, Amanda A. Duquette, 
Timothy E. Gilpatrick, Tara Goulet, Melissa Hodges, Eileen Hynes, James 
Kaklamanos, and Erik Kiser.
  Cassandra Loftus, Gregory M. McDonald, Christie McHugh, Peter 
McNamee, Caitlin Meagher, Catherine Ngo, Michelle Potter, Adam Rheault, 
Michael Snelgrove, Philip Trzcinski, Matthew Van Wagner, Erin Lynne 
Walford, and Tarin LaFrance, Teacher.
