PATRICK HENRY COLLEGE'S NATIONAL MOOT COURT TEAM
(Mr. MEADOWS asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. MEADOWS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Patrick Henry
College's National Moot Court Team on their fifth consecutive national
championship this year. The team boasts two two-time national
champions, as well as a national orator champion who holds the record
for the most points earned in the history of the league.
Patrick Henry College, or PHC, has now won a total of seven national
moot court championships and has built a strong reputation for success
nationwide. I thank the coaches--Dr. Michael Farris, founder of PHC,
and Dr. Frank Guliuzza--for their leadership and investment in these
young leaders.
In a time when we are asking the government to get out of the way,
PHC serves as a shining example of what can be achieved when freed from
the binds of the government's purse strings. From day one, the college
has not accepted Federal funding.
I congratulate Patrick Henry College, and its talented young people,
for the example it has and will continue to set for higher education in
America.
I also thank Congressman Frank Wolf for graciously giving me the
opportunity to make these remarks.
