                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 29, 2014

  Mr. GARAMENDI. Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the people of California's 
Third Congressional District, I want to congratulate the AP Government 
students and their teacher at Rio Vista High School for completing a 
class project on three major policy issues: welfare reform, health 
care, and unequal access to education.
   They demonstrated hard work in this inspiring program. Education is 
about developing knowledge and critical thinking skills. These students 
are civically engaged, reaching their lawmakers with policy 
recommendations on key issues facing our nation.
   I was honored to learn more about their recommendations during a 
class visit on Tuesday, May 28.
   Their willingness to work together in good faith and to build 
consensus is laudable and a lesson for us all.

                          ____________________
