  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
the accomplishments of an outstanding student organization, the Fruita 
Monument High School Speech and Debate Team. In doing so I would like 
to honor the following individuals on the team for their superb 
contributions to the speech and debate team: Juli Carrillo, Ginger 
Jacobson, Jenna Birkhold, and Eric Slater.
  The stellar performance by the team is a direct indication to why 
they qualified for the national competition, to be held in Portland, 
OR. Their love of argumentation and debating issues helped them become 
victorious. They have proven to be an asset to their school and 
community.
  It is with this, Mr. Speaker, that I say congratulations to the 
Fruita Monument's Speech and Debate team on a truly exceptional 
accomplishment.
