  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the students 
from Half Hollow Hills 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, Jason Albert, Matt Bernstein, Bryan Cowan, Jennifer 
Crupi, Arielle Davidsohn, Danielle Gold, Chelsea Gordon, Brittnay 
Hershkowitz, Joelle Lichtman, Priya Murthy, Lindsay Nussbaum, Liz Oren, 
Josh Parker, Sylvia Qu, Beth Reisfeld, Dan Roberts, Jill Rubino, Alida 
Salins, Aaron Schwartz, Ben Seleznow, Jen Signet, Soyoon Sung, Jessica 
Wasserman, Matt Young, and Jen Zhao, 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 the competition is also a testament to 
the excellent 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.
