                     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. In 
doing so, Katherine wrote a book for middle and high school students 
entitled ``She Rocks the Vote.'' She distributes it at seminars, 
workshops, and the Little Free Library, which 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 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 have no doubt she will continue to play an integral role in 
bettering the Commonwealth.
