        HONORING JOHN RADER ON THE COMPLETION OF HIS INTERNSHIP

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. BART GORDON

                              of tennessee

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 22, 2006

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the many 
contributions John Rader has made while interning in my Washington, DC, 
office. John has been a wonderful addition to the office and has 
performed many great services for the constituents of Tennessee's Sixth 
Congressional District.
  While my staff and I will certainly miss John's help and enthusiastic 
attitude, John is returning home to Cookeville. This fall, he will 
begin his junior year at the University of Tennessee, where he is 
studying political science and history and is president of the Sigma 
Chi fraternity.
  During his internship, John won over the entire staff with his 
eagerness and easygoing attitude. Not only has he endeared himself to 
us as he assisted with countless projects, but he also has endeared 
himself to countless visitors from Middle Tennessee.
  John's family is one I know well, and I consider many members of the 
previous two generations to be good friends. His family has made many 
great contributions to their community and state, and I am sure John 
will continue that legacy.
  I hope John has enjoyed his internship and his stay in our Nation's 
Capital as much as my staff and I have enjoyed having him here. I wish 
him all the best in the future.
