                          RECOGNIZING INTERNS

 Ms. ROSEN. Madam President, I am proud to host a number of 
interns from Nevada in my office, all of whom have contributed greatly 
to my work in the U.S. Senate. I know I speak for my colleagues as well 
when I say that many of our interns have enjoyed and benefited from a 
wonderful program operated by the Stennis Center for Public Service. 
This program is designed to enhance the internship experience for 
exceptional future leaders, giving young Americans an inside look at 
how Congress works and an opportunity to learn from bipartisan senior 
staffers and foster bipartisan relationships that will carry some of 
them through their career supporting Congress.
  Stennis interns are selected based on their employment experience, 
college course load, and future service to Congress. This fall, 32 
interns were chosen to be a part of this prestigious experience. These 
interns serve us on both sides of the aisle, working for Democrats and 
Republicans in the House and Senate, including one exceptional intern 
in my office who was awarded this opportunity: Natalie Gilbert of Las 
Vegas, NV.
  Natalie is an impressive young Nevadan, having earned the 
distinguished honors of State of Nevada Mock Trial Outstanding Attorney 
and National Merit Commended Scholar in 2020. Before interning with my 
office, she interned with the Clark County District Attorney's Office 
in the homicide and domestic violence departments and worked directly 
with their victim advocacy program. Surpassing over 100 hours of 
volunteer service, Natalie has been an invaluable member of our Las 
Vegas community. I am proud to recognize Natalie and her incredible 
efforts. I wish her only the best as she continues to pursue her 
studies in political economy and justice and peace studies at 
Georgetown University.
  In addition to Natalie, I would like to congratulate all of the 
Stennis interns on their completion of this exceptional program. I also 
thank the Stennis Center and their senior Fellows for providing a 
meaningful experience and fostering bipartisan work.
  I ask that the names of the 2021 Fall Stennis congressional interns 
and the offices in which they work be printed in the Record.
