                        TRIBUTE TO SOPHIA VELLA

 Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I would like to take the 
opportunity to express my appreciation to Sophia for her hard work as 
an intern in the Committee on Environment and Public Works. I recognize 
her efforts and contributions to my office, as well as to the State of 
Wyoming.
  Sophia is a native of Virginia. She is a student at Virginia 
Polytechnic and State University, where she is studying political 
science and foreign affairs. She has demonstrated a strong work ethic, 
which has made her an invaluable asset to our office. The quality of 
her work is reflected in her great efforts over the last several 
months.
  I want to thank Sophia for the dedication she has shown while working 
for me and my staff. It was a pleasure to have her as part of our team. 
I know she will have continued success with all of her future 
endeavors. I wish her all my best on her next journey.
