                      RECOGNIZING THE FALL INTERNS

 Mr. RICKETTS. Mr. President, today I stand before you to 
express my gratitude and admiration for the exceptional students who 
joined our team as fall interns in 2023. These talented young women and 
men brought a unique blend of enthusiasm, dedication, and a passion for 
making a difference to my offices in Washington, DC, office and across 
the State of Nebraska.
  Our interns have consistently shown a motivation to learn and a 
strong commitment to our State. Their presence has not only enriched 
our workspace, but also inspired my team and me. As the torchbearers of 
the next generation, their spirit and determination fill us with 
anticipation for what the future holds.
  As they leave our office, I want to take a moment to extend my 
sincerest thanks to: Sarah Gregory, Johnathan Smith, Stephen Trainer, 
and Kayla Fink, who served in my Washington, DC, office; Abbie Russman, 
and Ava Verzani, who served in my Omaha office; and Reagan Connelly, 
who served in my Lincoln office.
  Your dedication and contributions have truly made our team stronger. 
I hope you will carry the lessons learned here into your bright 
futures. Congratulations and best of luck.
