                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 17, 1997

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in praise of two outstanding 
young people who have been interning in my office for 2\1/2\ weeks, 
Christiana Hodge of Eastern High School and Calvin Wingfield of 
Banneker High School.
  Thanks to the internship program for District of Columbia high school 
students organized by my colleague, Representative Eleanor Holmes 
Norton, I have had the pleasure to work with these two bright and 
dedicated students whose contribution to my office has been invaluable.
  Mr. Speaker, I have been so impressed by Christiana and Calvin's 
willingness to spend 3 weeks interning on Capitol Hill--and working 
hard--while waiting for the school year and new challenges to begin. It 
is my hope that this experience has been as rewarding for them as it 
has for me.
  I know Christiana and Calvin will go far in life, because of their 
outstanding qualities. I thank them for their help over these past 
weeks, and I thank Eleanor Holmes Norton for bringing me in contact 
with them.
