President. recently the Immigration and Naturalization Service [INS] announced the results of its national citizenship poster contest on "What Being An American Means To Me." I am proud to report to my Senate colleagues that the first place national winner. Peter Cornforth. hails from Evansville. MN. Peter was recently in Washington to receive his award. Following the award ceremony. Peter. along with his parents and principal. stopped by my office to show it to me. INS sponsored this contest as part of its ongoing campaign to educate the public about the benefits of U.S. citizenship and to encourage those eligible to apply for naturalization. Hundreds of students from throughout the Nation entered this national contest. The children each drew a poster and wrote a short essay about "What Being An American Means To Me." Peters message was moving.
