                       Friday, February 21, 2014

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exemplary work 
of Dominic Jarvis, an Australian student who has done excellent work in 
my office through the well established Uni-Capitol Washington 
Internship Programme. Dominic came to us as an Environmental Studies 
student from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. A self 
proclaimed ``pragmatic advocate in social equity and justice, 
environmental conservation, peace and democracy'' he has been a 
fantastic attribute to our office here and has worked hard on the 
issues most important to the constituents of the Central Coast. 
Dominic's undeniable passion for green policy and environmentally 
friendly politics has been a pleasure to witness in the workplace.
   We have had the opportunity to host students through this program 
for many years and Dominic has done well to uphold the high caliber of 
work that we have come to expect from these international students. The 
Uni-Capitol Internship Program has done an outstanding job in providing 
an opportunity for political and cultural immersion for over 140 
students in its 15 years of garnering cross-cultural connections and I 
am very proud to have been a participant in this fantastic exchange 
both this year and in the past. I would like to recognize the 
importance of these programs in creating stronger multi-cultural ties 
and better relationships between nations at all levels.
   Mr. Speaker, Dominic has been an outstanding ambassador of 
Australian culture and academic prowess. He is a pleasure to have in 
the office and executes his duties in such a cheerful and effective 
manner that I am sure his absence will be stark when he returns to 
Australia to complete his academic pursuits. I thank him once again for 
the time he has spent working in our office and the mark he has left on 
my staff, my district, and myself.
