        CONGRATULATING MONTANA HISTORY DAY CONTEST TOP FINISHERS

  (Mr. DAINES asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. DAINES. Mr. Speaker, today, I am so proud to congratulate Sean-
Daniel Taylor, Kane Knudson, Emma Gabbert, and Hayden Kunhardt, who are 
students from Washington Middle School in Glendive, Montana, for being 
top finishers in the Montana History Day Contest.
  This week, they are among seven Montana students who traveled to the 
National History Day Contest in Washington, D.C. Out of 600,000 
participants in National History Day, less than 3,000 advance to the 
national contest, so I speak for all Montanans when I say that we are 
incredibly proud of their success.
  It is truly great to see young students--young Montanans like Sean-
Daniel, Kane, Emma, and Hayden--thinking critically about our Nation's 
history and the rights and responsibilities that come with citizenship.
  Congratulations, again, to all seven Montana students competing in 
the National History Day Contest.
