          CONGRATULATING JONAS ON HIS GRADUATION FROM COLLEGE

  (Ms. CRAIG asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. CRAIG. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate my son Jonas, who 
graduates tomorrow from North Dakota State University's College of 
Agriculture and Applied Science.
  When Jonas was in high school, he took postsecondary education 
classes at Inver Hills Community College, allowing him to graduate with 
a degree in natural resources management from NDSU in 3\1/2\ years.
  I have four sons, and Jonas has always been the peacekeeper. He got 
into less--well, actually, no trouble that I know of in high school, 
and he is such a loyal friend that he went to college with his three 
best friends.
  Of course, I didn't want Jonas to leave Minnesota for college, but he 
decided that Minnesota just wasn't cold enough for him, so he moved to 
Fargo. Now that he is done tomorrow, I couldn't be happier to welcome 
him back home to Minnesota.
  Congratulations, Jonas.
