                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2002

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ms. Emily Gore, 
a very special young woman who has exemplified the finest qualities of 
citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in national 
government.
  Emily is a junior political science major at the University of 
Missouri-Columbia and has distinguished herself as an intern in my 
Washington office by serving the great people of the 6th District of 
Missouri. Emily joined my staff for the 107th Congress as part of the 
House of Representatives intern program at the United States Capitol in 
Washington, D.C., a program designed to involve students in the 
legislative process through active participation. Through this program, 
Emily 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 her time as an intern in my office, Emily has successfully 
demonstrated her 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. Emily has earned recognition as a valuable asset to the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives and my office through the 
application of her knowledge and skills acquired prior to her tenure as 
an intern and through a variety of new skills she has acquired while 
serving the people of Missouri and our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ms. Emily 
Gore for her many important contributions to the U.S. House of 
Representatives during the current session, as well as joining with me 
to extend to her our very best wishes for continued success and 
happiness in all her future endeavors.
