                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 22, 2004

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Luke Palder on the 
completion of his internship. Luke has been a tremendous help to me and 
my staff while he has interned in my Washington, DC, office this 
summer.
  This is Luke's second summer as an intern for a member of the House 
of Representatives, which is remarkable when you consider that Luke 
will begin his senior year of high school this fall.
  Luke dedicates himself to excellence, and he commits himself fully to 
every project he undertakes. His internship in my office has been no 
exception. He has received the highest praise from constituents who 
have toured the U.S. Capitol with him. And he has proven himself to be 
a valuable addition to the office.
  Luke treats everyone he meets with kindness and respect. With his 
dedication and determination, I am sure that he will be successful in 
every endeavor he pursues. I wish him all the best in the future.
