                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 2002

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Mr. Niles 
Jager, a very special young man who has exemplified the finest 
qualities of citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in 
national government.
  Niles is a senior economics major at Depauw University and has 
distinguished himself as an intern in my Washington office by serving 
the great people of the 6th District of Missouri. Niles joined my staff 
for the 107th Congress as part of the House of Representatives intern 
program at the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C., a program 
designed to involve students in the legislative process through active 
participation. Through this program, Niles has had the opportunity to 
observe firsthand the inner workings of national government and has 
gained valuable insight into the process by which laws are made.
  During his time as an intern in my office, Niles has successfully 
demonstrated his abilities in the performance of such duties as 
conducting research, helping with constituent services, and assuming 
various other responsibilities to make the office run as smoothly as 
possible. Niles has earned recognition as a valuable asset to the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives and my office through the 
application of his knowledge and skills acquired prior to his tenure as 
an intern and through a variety of new skills he has acquired while 
serving the people of Missouri and our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Mr. Niles 
Jager for his many important contributions to the U.S. House of 
Representatives during the current session, as well as joining with me 
to extend to him our

endeavors.
