     RECOGNIZING MS. CAMILLE BENTLEY-McGOLDRICK OF THE UNI-CAPITOL

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ALCEE L. HASTINGS

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 27, 2017

  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, the United States and Australia share a 
special union culturally, economically, and as security partners. The 
friendship our two countries share is strengthened by programs like the 
Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Program. For the past 18 years, the 
Uni-Capitol Program has paired students from Australia with offices on 
Capitol Hill. Since the program's inception, more than 180 students 
from 10 partner Australian universities have participated. The students 
in this program are the best and the brightest that Australia has to 
offer. They bring a unique perspective to the House and Senate offices 
that they serve, strengthening the special alliance between our two 
nations and fostering greater understanding and mutual respect between 
us.
  This year, it has been my pleasure to host Ms. Camille Bentley-
McGoldrick in my Washington office. Camille, a first year law student 
at the University of Melbourne, is a great example of the high-caliber 
students this program provides Congressional offices. She proved 
herself to be very intelligent, motivated, and hard working. Camille is 
also an absolute pleasure to work with. No matter the assignment, she 
is always. eager to help and approaches every new task with a smile. 
Furthermore, Camille excelled in drafting correspondence to my 
constituents, researching a wide-range of legislative issues for 
staffers, and attending briefings on a multitude of topics, all while 
demonstrating a desire to learn about, and engage in, the important and 
unique policy issues facing our nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I have no doubt that Camille will go on to do great 
things. She has a very bright and exciting future ahead of her. I wish 
her all the very best.
