On the recordMay 4, 1994
last Saturday, over 1000 students from 47 States and the District of Columbia were in Washington to compete in the finals of the ``We the People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution Program. It is my pleasure today to recognize the students of Prairie Grove High School, who represented the State of Arkansas in this competition. The team members from Prairie Grove are: Becky Bowerman, Amy Bullock, Nye Carnahan, Tina Carte, Keith Cohea, Todd Copeland, Deanna Dillingham, Jodie Divin, Sommer Faulkenberry, Heather Hall, Kara Ireland, Jolene Key, Adam Morano, Jenny Pearson, Anne Stark, Brian Stark, and Marla Webb. I would also like to recognize their teacher, Frank Dalmut, who has given so much of his time to these students, as well as the district coordinator, Lacy Randall, and the State coordinator, Barbara Stafford, whose direction on behalf of the program is unparalleled. Madam President, the ``We the People . . . The Citizen and the Constitution Program is supported and funded by Congress. This competition is designed specifically to educate young people about the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
