            STENNIS CENTER PROGRAM FOR CONGRESSIONAL INTERNS

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, for 10 years, summer interns working 
in Congressional offices have benefitted from a program run by the John 
C. Stennis Center for Public Service Leadership. This 6-week program is 
designed to enhance their internship experience by giving them an 
inside view of how Congress works and a deeper appreciation for the 
role that Congress plays in our democracy. Each week, the interns meet 
with senior congressional staff and other experts to discuss issues 
such as the legislative process, separation of powers, balancing 
governing and campaigning, political polarization, and more. My office 
has had the benefit of hosting Stennis interns over years and I know it 
contributes to a richer experience for all who participate.
  Interns are selected for this program based on their college record, 
community service experience, and interest in a career in public 
service. This year, 28 outstanding interns, most of them juniors and 
seniors in college who are working in Republican and Democratic offices 
in both the House and Senate, have taken part.
  I congratulate the interns for their involvement in this valuable 
program and I thank the Stennis Center and the Senior Stennis Fellows 
for providing such a meaningful experience for these interns and for 
encouraging them to consider a future career in public service.
  I ask that a list of 2012 Stennis Congressional Interns and the
