                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2002

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mr. James 
Mackle, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in 
national government.
  James is a senior political science major at Furman University and 
has distinguished himself as an intern in my Washington Office by 
serving the great people of the 6th District of Missouri. James 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, James 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, James 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. James 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. James 
Mackle 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.
