      HONORING LESLIE STEVENS ON THE COMPLETION OF HER INTERNSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 10, 2006

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
contributions Leslie Stevens has made while interning in my Washington, 
D.C., office. Leslie, a native of Harriman, Tennessee, has been a 
wonderful addition to the office and a great servant to the 
constituents of Tennessee's Sixth Congressional District.
  Last December, Leslie graduated from my alma mater, Middle Tennessee 
State University, with a degree in political science. Her love of the 
subject is evident through her eagerness to experience all aspects of 
government and her desire to read just about anything related to 
politics.
  Though she is still young, Leslie already has first-hand knowledge of 
both the state and federal levels of government. She has learned the 
inner workings of the General Assembly as a legislative intern for the 
Tennessee Board of Regents. And during her time in Washington, she has 
attended briefings, addressed constituent concerns and provided 
visitors from Tennessee with an up-close look at the U.S. Capitol.
  I hope Leslie enjoyed her internship as much as my staff and I have 
enjoyed her help in the office. I wish her all the best in the future.
