Mr. Speaker, I am honored this morning to have a great many students here from Amity Junior High School in Bethany. They are here with their teachers, Doug Graney, Chistine Dio, Nancy Benson and Peter Bogan. I would like, Mr. Speaker, to yield to Representative Tonucci, who many years ago, used to teach at the junior high school. Thank you, Mr. Speaker. SPEAKER STOLBERG: Representative Tonucci, do you accept the yield? REP. TONUCCI: 9104th) Yes, I do, Mr. Speaker. It is my pleasure to have them here today. I taught in the Amity Junior High School from 1976 to 1985, almost ten years, and it was a great experience in my life, and ... We are very fortunate to have them here today. This school here has received many awards in national testing over the last few years. I would like to have them stand, and I would like to have the House of Representatives stand here and give them their usual warm welcome. APPLAUSE
