                       RECOGNIZING JAMES HOLLAND

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 1, 2017

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an exceptional 
young Australian who is currently interning in my Washington, D.C. 
office. James Holland came to our office as part of the Uni-Capitol 
Washington Internship Programme (UCWIP) and has been a valuable 
contributor to our efforts on behalf of New York's Tenth Congressional 
District.
  UCWIP has worked with congressional offices to foster strong ties and 
understanding between the United States and Australian governments by 
bringing the best and the brightest from top Australian universities to 
intern on Capitol Hill. I am proud to have personally hosted 13 
Australians since 2003, each bringing their unique outlooks on policy 
and desire to contribute.
  James, a student from Monash University as well as valedictorian for 
the UCWIP Class of 2017, has worked in our office since January and 
quickly proved himself to be a highly valuable member of our team. He 
has researched important issues, attended briefings, and drafted 
constituent correspondence, among many other duties. He consistently 
displays a deep desire to learn and treats everyone that he encounters 
with respect. His hard work and dedication is a tremendous asset to our 
office and the Tenth Congressional District.
  My team has learned a great deal about the current political 
situation in Australia as James' fascination with America continues to 
grow. He is an absolute pleasure to have in the office and I offer him 
my thanks for a job well done. I wish him the best of luck in all of 
his future endeavors.
