                     TRIBUTE TO KATHERINE WETHERTON

 Mr. PAUL. Mr. President, every Member of Congress vividly 
remembers his or her path toward engagement in our government. Some 
have been more circuitous than others, but we all remember how that 
spark was ignited and how action ensued.
  Katherine Wetherton, a freshman at the University of Louisville, 
hopes to kindle that passion for civic engagement in young women, and 
part of her strategy was to write a book targeted toward middle and 
high school students entitled, ``She Rocks the Vote.'' She distributes 
it through the seminars and workshops she conducts for students and at 
the Little Free Library that she built and installed in her hometown in 
Oldham County.
  A results-focused young woman, Kate was active in Girl Scouts for 13 
years and completed her Girl Scout Gold Award, which is achieved by 
only about 5 percent of Girl Scouts. And while she

has big plans for her education, including graduate school, she doesn't 
intend to stop connecting girls and young women with the information 
and skills they need to become involved at every level of government.
  I am proud to recognize Kate for her accomplishments and leadership, 
and to encourage her future endeavors.
