                      TRIBUTE TO U.S. SENATE PAGES

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, it was my privilege to select three 
outstanding high school students from Kentucky for this summer's U.S. 
Senate Page Program. These talented young people completed a highly 
competitive application process, and they represent the next generation 
of Kentucky's leaders.
  I would like to take a moment to commend Jackson Hester, Charlotte 
McCarthy, and Thomas Schrepferman for their interest in serving the 
Commonwealth of Kentucky and our great Nation. Their applications 
showed a broad range of leadership experiences and extracurricular 
activities. These Kentuckians and their families should be proud of all 
they've accomplished at this young age.
  Unfortunately, the coronavirus crisis made it impossible for the 
Senate Page Program to bring these students to Washington this summer. 
The virus may have canceled this opportunity, but it can never change 
the great potential these young people have in store. I would like to 
thank Jackson, Charlotte, and Thomas for their commitment to public 
service and extend my best wishes for a bright future.
