                      RECOGNIZING MR. FLETCHER COX

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2002

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mr. Fletcher 
Cox, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest qualities 
of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in national 
government.
  Fletcher is a senior communications major at William Jewell College 
and has distinguished himself as an intern in my Washington office by 
serving the great people of the 6th District of Missouri. Fletcher 
joined my staff for the 107th Congress as part of the House of 
Representatives Intern Program at the United States Capitol in 
Washington, DC., a program designed to involve students in the 
legislative process through active participation. Through this program, 
Fletcher has had the opportunity to observe firsthand the inner 
workings of national government and has gained valuable insight into 
the process by which laws are made.
  During his time as an intern in my office, Fletcher has successfully 
demonstrated his abilities in the performance of such duties as 
conducting research, helping with constituent services, and assuming 
various other responsibilities to make the office run as smoothly as 
possible. Fletcher has earned recognition as a valuable asset to the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives and my office through the 
application of his knowledge and skills acquired prior to his tenure as 
an intern and through a variety of new skills he has acquired while 
serving the people of Missouri and our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Mr. Fletcher 
Cox for his many important contributions to the U.S. House of 
Representatives during the current session, as well as joining with me 
to extend to him our very best wishes for continued success and 
happiness in all his future endeavors.
