  Mr. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Olivia Bates, for 
her work as an intern serving in my Hendersonville office. I would like 
to take this opportunity to thank her for her hard work and recognize 
the meaningful contributions she has made to the office this spring.
  Olivia is originally from New York but now calls Henderson County, 
North Carolina home. She graduated from Western Carolina University 
where she earned her bachelor's degree in criminal justice.
  Interns work with staff to serve constituents in North Carolina's 
11th congressional district. Olivia was chosen from a competitive pool 
of applicants and exceeded every expectation with her positive attitude 
and impressive work ethic.
  It was a pleasure to work with Olivia, and I am so proud to have such 
an intelligent and ambitious intern representing my office. Olivia 
exemplified the spirit of public service and represents the best that 
our Nation has to offer. I congratulate Olivia on the successful 
completion of her internship and thank her on behalf of the people of 
Western North Carolina.
