                VEGAS' WE THE PEOPLE STUDENT COMPETITORS

  (Ms. LEE of Nevada asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. LEE of Nevada. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate our team 
of very bright students from West Career and Technical Academy in 
southern Nevada who will be competing this weekend in the national 
finals of the ``We the People'' civics competition.
  These students have been learning all they can about our Constitution 
in preparation to be tested by seasoned lawyers and politicians from 
all around the country, but these kids aren't all future lawyers 
themselves. Many of them aspire to have diverse careers across 
medicine, science, and the arts. What ties them together is a 
commitment to being educated citizens, dedicated to developing their 
own opinions and exemplifying the best of our democracy.
  I think we can all learn a thing or two about their passion for 
respecting diverse perspectives and finding common ground.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate them.
