           CONGRATULATING STUDENTS FROM HIGHLANDS HIGH SCHOOL

  (Mr. MASSIE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MASSIE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and to 
congratulate the students from Highlands High School in Fort Thomas, 
Kentucky.
  These hard-working students in my district recently won the We the 
People State-level competition and will represent the State of Kentucky 
in the national competition this weekend in Washington, D.C.
  The We the People program is a project of the Center for Civic 
Education. It works to further students' knowledge of constitutional 
history and government, and it gives students a foundation in civics 
education that will prepare them to be effective future leaders. The 
program sponsors student debates and discussions of issues, such as the 
similarities between the United States Congress and the British 
Parliament, the differences between the Constitution and the Articles 
of Confederation, and the merits of the anti-Federalist arguments 
versus those of the Federalists.
  I am proud of these students' hard work and dedication. I wish them 
all the best in their competition this weekend and in all of their 
future endeavors.
