                 COMMENDING THE EFFORTS OF SENATE PAGES

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, on behalf of all Members of the U.S. 
Senate, I am pleased to take this opportunity to recognize the efforts 
of the Senate Pages. Earlier today, I had the pleasure of joining the 
Pages at their graduation ceremony. Despite the weather, I hope the 
Pages and their family and friends enjoyed the morning activities.
  I would like to remind the Senate of the hard work that the Pages do 
on behalf of the Senate. Besides tending to the needs of the Senate 
floor by day, many late nights are spent running errands and making up 
school work. Pages have the pressure of holding down full-time jobs 
while also meeting rigorous school obligations. The Pages have had the 
opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and to witness 
the operations of the Senate. In addition, these Senate Pages witnessed 
a truly historic event in the signing of the Middle East peace accord. 
I hope all of the Pages will share their experiences and talents with 
their communities.
  I also hope that their experience in the Senate will inspire some of 
the Pages to choose careers in public service. As I told the Pages this 
morning, our country benefits from the energy and idealism of young 
Americans, particularly when they choose public service. It is a noble 
and satisfying career. Regardless of what career path they may choose, 
it is crucial that they continue to participate in our country's 
governing. In order for our representative democracy to function 
properly, it is essential that citizens stay informed and stay 
involved.
  I want to make special note of a fellow Mainer, Leslie Hendrickson, a 
Page I appointed from my hometown of Waterville. I was proud that 
Leslie was selected to deliver the commencement address at this morning 
ceremony. I would also like to recognize Christopher Atwood from Old 
Town, Maine.
  On behalf of the entire Senate, I extend to each of you our profound 
thanks for your assistance to us over the past year, and wish you 
continued success as you pursue your goals.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following list of Senate Pages be 
included in the Record.
