    CORRECTION OF OMMISSIONS AND SPECIAL RECOGNITION TO LANCE FELLER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. FRANK RIGGS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 24, 1998

  Mr. RIGGS. Mr. Speaker, after the class of House Pages from the Fall 
Semester of 1997 left Washington, the names of several Pages were 
omitted from the Congressional Record. I rise today to correct this 
unfortunate oversight.
  Additionally, I would like to personally recognize Lance Feller of 
Del Norte County, California, in my Congressional District. Lance is an 
excellent student who recently exhibited his own leadership skills by 
winning election to the post of President of the California Association 
of Student Councils (CASC) Region 1 for the 1998/1999 school year. 
Region 1 includes 184 high schools and covers a land mass larger than 
several states.
  Congressional Pages are an important part of the day-to-day operation 
of the United States House of Representatives. Many former pages now 
serves as Members of this House, while others have gone on to be 
leaders in business and other pursuits. Mr. Speaker, I expect that 
Lance Feller will put the skills and experiences learned in the Page 
program to good use, not just in the near future, but throughout his 
entire life.
  I also would like to recognize some of the other Pages who served 
with Lance, but who were not recognized previously. They are: Brook 
Burns, Shayla Canty, Katie Crocker, Erin DiGiglia, William Haliburton, 
Anne Metz, Moremi Oladeinde, Aja Sims, Kimbrell Smith, Summer Smith, 
Colleen Deegan and Demarcus Ward. I am sure they will all take the 
lessons learned as Pages here in Washington, D.C. and apply them 
throughout their lives as they, too, strive to be leaders in their 
hometowns.
