                         Monday, June 30, 2025

  Mr. FONG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
outstanding interns who have devoted their summer to serving the people 
of California's 20th District. From my offices in Washington, D.C., and 
Bakersfield, these students have demonstrated maturity beyond their 
years, contributing their time, intellect, and drive to support our 
work in meaningful ways. They brought fresh insight, a willingness to 
learn, and an admirable commitment to public service. Their presence 
has been a welcome reminder of the promise and potential of the next 
generation. At a time when many young Americans are navigating 
questions about their role in civic life, these interns chose to engage 
directly with purpose and passion.
  As their summer internships come to a close, I want to express my 
deepest gratitude to Isaac Chipres, Luke Fernandes, and Margaret Woolf 
for their contributions to my Washington, D.C., office and to Gianna 
Gatson for her service in my Bakersfield, California office. Their hard 
work has been instrumental to my team's efforts, and I trust that the 
skills and educational experiences they have gained will guide them 
toward continued success in their future endeavors in public service. I 
look forward to seeing where their paths lead, and I hope those paths 
include a continued dedication to serving others.
