                     TRIBUTE TO 2024 SUMMER INTERNS

 Mr. RICKETTS. Madam President, today I stand before you to 
express my gratitude and admiration for the exceptional students who 
joined our team as summer interns in 2024.
  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: Caitlyn Haggstrom, Preston Kotik, Turner Vaughn, 
and Esme Vroom, who served in my Washington, DC, office; Carson 
Kreager, who served in my Kearney office; Bayleigh Donahoe, who served 
in my Omaha office; and Mackenzie Hamilton, 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 future. 
Congratulations, and best of luck.
