             RECOGNIZING THE LOUISIANA TECH CHAMBER SINGERS

 Mr. VITTER. Mr. President, today I wish to acknowledge the 
Louisiana Tech Chamber Singers for their participation in the 2006 
Mozart Choral Festival in Vienna, Austria. As 1 of only 12 choral 
groups selected to perform in this festival, the Louisiana Tech Chamber 
Singers will stand among the most elite vocalists in the world.
  The Louisiana Tech choral program embodies the high standard of 
musical and artistic excellence in Louisiana's higher education system 
and represents the finest musicians the university and the Nation have 
to offer. Former members of the Louisiana Tech choral program have 
established national and international reputations as performing and 
recording artists in many musical genres.
  The 2006 Mozart Choral Festival is a celebration of the 250th 
anniversary of the birth of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The participating 
choral groups are traveling from across the world to celebrate of one 
of the greatest musicians of all time by performing pieces of Mozart's 
most brilliant work.
  I applaud the Louisiana Tech Chamber Singers for their success and 
wish their program continued prosperity.
