                        Wednesday, July 23, 2003

  Mr. OXLEY. Mr. Speaker, the American Political Science Association 
(APSA) is commemorating the 50th anniversary of its Congressional 
Fellowship Program this year. I join my colleagues in commending APSA 
for the service that it has provided to the U.S. Congress.
  APSA fellows have made a valuable contribution to the work of 
personal and committee offices in both the House and Senate. The 
program draws on the talents of a variety of professionals who are 
interested in learning about and contributing to the legislative 
process. The APSA program is held in high regard by Members for the 
quality of the fellows it makes available to offices at no charge. 
Among its distinguished alumni is Vice President Dick Cheney.
  My office has been pleased to host two fellows in recent years. Tim 
Johnson, a 1994 journalism fellow, remained on my staff and currently 
serves as my Legislative Director and Press Secretary. Ben Brown, a 
2001 fellow from the FDIC, brought valuable banking expertise to the 
House Financial Services Committee during its formative first months.
  The APSA Congressional Fellows Program merits our recognition for the 
ongoing contributions that it makes to the legislative process.
