                     HONORING DREYFOOS HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. KLEIN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KLEIN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to honor a 
special group of south Florida high school students for being selected 
to participate in a prestigious debate competition this weekend in New 
York City.
  The students, Zoe Friedland, Samuel Natale, Alexandre Pouille, Jemma 
Hinkly, Emily Deyes, Christopher Bahls-Mariles, and Rachael Mielke, 
hail from Dreyfoos High School in Palm Beach County, and will represent 
the school at the National Public Policy Forum debate championship this 
weekend
  I wish these students the best of luck. They are some of the best and 
brightest, and I know they will represent south Florida well. I commend 
them for their hard work, dedication and perseverance that got them to 
this level and qualified them for this competition.
  I also want to take this opportunity to express the condolences from 
my district to the family and friends of the Virginia Tech students who 
were tragically killed on Monday, and wish a speedy recovery to those 
who were injured.
  Our children are the future of our Nation and our greatest asset. I 
join my colleagues in the House of Representatives to express our grief 
and sympathy. Our thoughts and prayers are with their friends and 
families.
