                     TRIBUTE TO U.S. SENATE INTERNS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, this summer, it was my privilege to 
select several talented young Kentuckians for an internship in my 
Washington Senate office. As a former Senate intern myself, I am proud 
of the individuals who are eager to apply themselves to public service.
  I would like to take a moment to commend James Adams of Jefferson 
County, William Cohen of Jefferson County, Julian Colvin of Jefferson 
County, Garland Ellis of Bell County, Mary Grace Furnish of Harrison 
County, William Miller of Taylor County, Lauren Reuss of Spencer 
County, Samuel Rickert of Oldham County, Elizabeth Rupp of Fayette 
County, Madelin Shelton of Owen County, Victoria Sisk of Christian 
County, Jordan White of Campbell County, and Erdin Zukic of Warren 
County for their interest in serving the Commonwealth of Kentucky and 
our great Nation. Each of these young people has developed an 
impressive list of leadership experiences and extracurricular 
activities. Their applications stood out, and I was proud to offer them 
an internship.
  Unfortunately, the coronavirus crisis forced the cancelation of this 
summer's internship program. The virus may have taken away this 
opportunity, but it can never change the great potential these 
Kentuckians have in store. I would like to thank each of them for 
pursuing public service and to extend my best wishes for a bright 
future.
