On the recordMay 23, 2013
Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Patrick Henry College's National Moot Court Team on their fifth consecutive national championship this year. The team boasts two two-time national champions, as well as a national orator champion who holds the record for the most points earned in the history of the league. Patrick Henry College, or PHC, has now won a total of seven national moot court championships and has built a strong reputation for success nationwide. I thank the coaches--Dr. Michael Farris, founder of PHC, and Dr. Frank Guliuzza--for their leadership and investment in these young leaders. In a time when we are asking the government to get out of the way, PHC serves as a shining example of what can be achieved when freed from the binds of the government's purse strings. From day one, the college has not accepted Federal funding. I congratulate Patrick Henry College, and its talented young people, for the example it has and will continue to set for higher education in America. I also thank Congressman Frank Wolf for graciously giving me the opportunity to make these remarks. ____________________
