                        TRIBUTE TO EMILY HOLMES

 Mr. HEINRICH. Mr. President, it is an honor to recognize Emily 
Holmes for her diligent service through the U.S. Senate Page Program.
  During her placement, Ms. Holmes has been critical to the daily 
operation of the Senate.
  Senate pages work long hours, dutifully delivering legislative 
material throughout the U.S. Capitol complex and assisting Senators and 
staff on the Senate floor.
  Through her work, Ms. Holmes has demonstrated excellent 
professionalism and a commitment to the work of this legislative body.
  Ms. Holmes's passion for public service is evident from her extensive 
involvement in her local community through organizations such as Los 
Alamos Teen Court and student council.
  Ms. Holmes also participates in Model United Nations because she 
believes understanding both local and global issues is the best way to 
affect change in her community.
  During her time as a Senate page, Ms. Holmes learned about the 
legislative process and experienced new ideas and perspectives.
  I especially appreciate Ms. Holmes's commitment to bring what she 
learned in Washington back to New Mexico as she continues her 
education.
  As part of the next generation of changemakers, Ms. Holmes will play 
an important role in the trajectory of our State's future.
  I am grateful for thoughtful young people like Ms. Holmes who seek 
opportunities to develop as both a citizen and a leader.
  I commend Ms. Holmes for her excellent work in service of our Nation 
as a Senate page and for her dedication to public service.
  It has been a pleasure to have Ms. Holmes working in the U.S. Senate, 
and I wish her the best in all of her future endeavors.
