                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 2006

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, once again, I come to the floor to 
recognize the great success of strong local schools working with 
dedicated parents and teachers to raise young men and women. I rise 
today to congratulate and honor 45 outstanding high school artists from 
the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey. Each of these talented 
students is participating in the 2006 Annual Congressional Arts 
competition, ``An Artistic Discovery.'' Their works, of art are 
exceptional!
  We have 45 students participating. That is a tremendous response, and 
I would very much like to build on that participation for future 
competitions.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the three winners of our 
art competition. First place was awarded to Sara Gilbert from West 
Morris Mendham High School for her work entitled ``Vacancy.'' Second 
place was awarded to Lucy Tan from Livingston High School for her work 
entitled ``1930's Icon.'' Third place was awarded to Snena Ganguly from 
Bridgewater Raritan High School for her work entitled ``Woods.''
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize each artist for their 
participation by indicating their high school, their name, and the 
title of their contest entry for the official Record. Home schooled: 
Phyllis Schlafly's ``Circle of Light.''

Unger's ``Reflection,'' Philip Hinge's ``Self Portrait,'' and Pam

Brutman's ``Juggernaut,'' and Heather Schultz's ``Relative Motion.''
  Each year the winner of the competition has their art work displayed 
with other winners from across the country in a special corridor here 
at the U.S. Capitol. Every time a vote is called, I walk through that 
corridor and am reminded of the vast talents of our young men and 
women.
  Indeed, all of these young artists are winners, and we should be 
proud of their achievements so early in life.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating these 
talented young people from New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.
