AMERICAN POLITICAL SCIENCE ASSOCIATION CONGRESSIONAL FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I welcome the opportunity to commend the 
American Political Science Association on the 50th anniversary of its 
Congressional Fellowship Program.
  Since 1953, the association's fellowships have brought talented 
journalists, scientists, scholars, sociologists, and domestic and 
foreign policy specialists to spend a few months as staff members in 
our offices in Congress.
  I have consistently been impressed with the skill of these fellows in 
my Senate office over the years, and their expertise has been an 
important asset. Their detailed knowledge of their professions is 
outstanding, and contributes significantly to our work on the issues 
before us.
  The association's Congressional Fellowship Program has been a 
valuable addition to the Senate over the past five decades, and their 
work is more important now than ever. The American Political Science 
Association deserves great credit for sponsoring these fellowships.
