  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the students 
from Half Hollow Hills East High School in Dix Hills, New York for 
their hard work in the ``We the People: The Citizen and the 
Constitution'' national finals.
  The students, Carolyn Abott, Emily Chin, Samuel Dixon, George 
Duroseau, Jason Feinstein, Steven Frank, Antonia Fthenakis, Carrie 
Gerber, Qais Ghafary, Hannah Goldsmith, Bruce Halperin, Emily Kratter, 
Sami Rashid, Dan Rogove, Jessica Rosenbaum, Gayle Rudofsky, Lauren 
Shikowitz, Ricki Silvernman, Rohini Singh, Caryn Teitelbaum, Shara 
Venezia-Wallerstein, Jason Vinokur, Nicole Weinstock, Joshua Wolinsky, 
and Joseph Wolken, led by their teacher Scott Edwards, demonstrated a 
remarkable understanding of the fundamental ideals and values of 
American constitutional government.
  It is truly an honor to call these outstanding young Americans my 
constituents. Their success in this competition is also a testament to 
the exceptional teachers at Half Hollow Hills East High School and 
elsewhere on Long Island.
  I offer my congratulations on their hard-won honorable mention and 
commend these students on their dedication to the study of the 
Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
