                       Tuesday, February 13, 2018

  Mr. HASTINGS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Ms. Holly Adams, 
Holly has been an intern in my Washington, D.C. Congressional office 
since the beginning of January, through the Uni-Capitol Washington 
Internship Programme (UCWIP).
  For the past 19 years, the program has paired students from nearly a 
dozen partner universities in Australia with offices on Capitol Hill, 
giving hundreds of students the opportunity to work in the halls of 
Congress. I have been honored to host a number of extremely talented 
interns through the UCWIP. Holly is, of course, no exception.
  Holly is currently enrolled at Deakin University in Geelong, 
Victoria, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Law Degree and a Bachelor 
of International Studies Degree. As a student of International studies, 
she has already travelled extensively, participating in international 
politics study tours in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, New York, as 
well as Tokyo.
  Holly has proven herself to be a very hardworking and dedicated 
individual. Throughout her internship, she has interacted extensively 
with my constituents, by drafting correspondence, helping to address 
questions, comments, and concerns for those contacting or visiting my 
office. She has also attended a number of hearings and briefings on a 
wide range of topics facing our nation and world. Indeed, Holly proved 
herself to be so capable, she prepared a FY2019 Programmatic Request 
letter for circulation throughout the U.S. House of Representatives on 
rail safety. It is no wonder that she was chosen by her classmates to 
give the `valedictory' speech at her program's closing reception.
  Last year, Holly was accepted to study international human rights at 
Kings College, London, have no doubt that she will do great as she 
continues her studies. I am proud to congratulate Holly on all of her 
achievements, and to thank her for everything that she has done for my 
office, my district, state, and our country. She has a very bright and 
exciting future ahead of her, and I wish her the very best.
