  EAST BRUNSWICK HIGH SCHOOL PLACING FIRST AT THE WE THE PEOPLE: THE 
                  CITIZEN AND THE CONSTITUTION PROGRAM

 Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, today I want to recognize 
students from East Brunswick High School in East Brunswick, NJ who 
placed first at the national finals for the We the People: The Citizen 
and the Constitution program. The national finals of the program 
simulates a congressional hearing whereby students testify as 
constitutional experts before a panel of judges. The students from East 
Brunswick defeated classes from every other State.
  The program is administered by the Center for Civic Education and 
features an intensive curriculum which provides students with a 
fundamental understanding of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights 
and the principles and values they embody. More than 26.5 million 
students have participated in program during the last sixteen years.
  I congratulate East Brunswick High School teacher Alan Brodman, State 
Coordinator Arlene Gardner, and District Coordinator Cole Kleitsch. I 
also congratulate the students on the East Brunswick team: Kian Barry, 
Patrick Bell, Kathleen Cammidge, Jessica Castles, Jennifer Chen, Ryan 
Citron, Jenna Elson, Daniel Gartenberg, Scott Goldschmidt, David 
Goldstein, Kristen Hamaoui, Marc Mondry, Jason Noah, Eric Nowicki, 
Nicholas Parals, Greg Parnas, Jessica Rebarber, Joa Roux, Blake Segal, 
Jody Shaw, Andrew Silver, Jeffrey Smith, Daniel Temkin, Abraham Tran, 
Arln Tuerk, and Haiwei Wang.
