        HONORING SARAH RICE--INTERN IN MY WASHINGTON, DC OFFICE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. SAM GRAVES

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 25, 2003

  Mr. GRAVES. Mr. Speaker, I proudly pause to recognize Ms. Sarah Rice, 
a very special young woman who has exemplified the finest qualities of 
citizenship and leadership by taking an active part in national 
government.
  Sarah is a senior political science major at Northwest Missouri State 
University and has distinguished herself as an intern in my Washington 
office by serving the great people of the 6th District of Missouri. 
Sarah joined my staff for the 108th Congress as part of the House of 
Representatives intern program at the United States Capitol in 
Washington, DC, a program designed to involve students in the 
legislative process through active participation. Through this program, 
Sarah 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 her time as an intern in my office, Sarah has successfully 
demonstrated her 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. Sarah has earned recognition as a valuable asset to the 
entire U.S. House of Representatives and my office through the 
application of her knowledge and skills acquired prior to her tenure as 
an intern and through a variety of new skills she has acquired while 
serving the people of Missouri and our Nation.
  Mr. Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Ms. Sarah 
Rice for her many important contributions to the U.S. House of 
Representatives during the current session, as well as joining with me 
to extend to her our very best wishes for continued success and 
happiness in all her future endeavors.
