Congratulations to all the students at Roosevelt Middle School and South Eugene High who developed the "Peace Process 2001:Rise to the Occasion" web site. I know your 1997 award for excellence from the Association for Computer Professionals in Education represents a lot of hard work and ingenuity.

Your web page is an important tool in the effort to promote peace. You are leading the way toward a safe and sane future. Armed with tools like this web site, your generation could be the one to fulfill President Dwight David Eisenhower's prediction:" I like to believe that people in the long run are going to do more to promote peace than our governments. Indeed, I think that people want peace so much that one of these days, government had better get out of the way and let them have it.

Again, congratulations on a job well done

Sincerely,

Peter DeFazio
Member of Congress
