RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN of new jersey in the house of representatives Wednesday, May 28, 2014 Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, once again, I come to the floor to recognize the great success of strong local schools working with dedicated parents and teachers. I rise today to congratulate and honor a number of outstanding high school artists from the 11th Congressional District of New Jersey. Each of these talented students participated in the 2014 Congressional Arts Competition, ``An Artistic Discovery.'' Their works of art are exceptional! Sixty-three young men and women participated. That is a wonderful response, and I would very much like to build on that participation for future competitions. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the winners of our art competition.
