                      TRIBUTE TO MICHELLE MATTHIES

  Mr. THUNE. Madam President, today I recognize Michelle Matthies, an 
intern in my Sioux Falls, SD, office, for all of the hard work she has 
done for me, my staff, and the State of South Dakota over the past 
several months.
  Michelle is a graduate of Parker High School in Parker, SD. 
Currently, she is attending Augustana College, where she is majoring in 
English and secondary education. She is a hard worker who has been 
dedicated to getting the most out of her internship experience.
  I would like to extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to Michelle 
for all of the fine work she has done and wish her continued success in 
the years to come.
