                         Thursday, May 26, 2005

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, once again, I come to the floor to 
recognize the great success of strong local schools working with 
dedicated parents and teachers to raise young men and women. I rise 
today to congratulate and honor 44 outstanding high school artists from 
the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey. Each of these talented 
students is participating in the 2005 Annual Congressional Arts 
competition, ``An Artistic Discovery.'' Their works of art are 
exceptional!
  We have 44 students participating. That is a tremendous response, and 
I would very much like to build on that participation for future 
competitions.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the three winners of our 
art competition, first place was awarded to Paul Niziolek from Ridge 
High School for his work entitled, ``Shut Off;'' second place was 
awarded to Tommy Lientitled from Livingston High School for his work 
entitled, ``Self-Reflection;'' and third place was awarded to Chris 
Murphy from West Morris Mendham High School for his work entitled, 
``Turn Away.''
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to recognize each artist for their 
participation by indicating their high school, their name, and the 
title of their contest entries for the official Record.

  Each year the winner of the competition's art work is hung with other 
winners from across the country in a special corridor here at the U.S. 
Capitol. Every time a vote is called, I walk through that corridor and 
am reminded of the vast talents of our young men and women.
  Indeed, all of these young artists are winners, and we should be 
proud of their achievements so early in life.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in congratulating these 
talented young people from New Jersey's 11th Congressional District.
