                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 26, 2005

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, the end of this week marks the completion 
of our first semester for the Page academic year and thus several of 
our House Pages will be leaving us. At the completion of my remarks, I 
am submitting a list of names of those pages that will be departing for 
home in the next few days.
  Not only do I want to note the participation and service of these 
fine young people, but as the Chairman of the House Page Board, I want 
to thank them for their service and commitment to this Institution. 
They have served with distinction and should be commended for their 
contributions. They and their fellow classmates have served during a 
time of great historic events that have included the final weeks of 
session of the 108th Congress, Presidential and Congressional 
elections, the Opening of the 109th Congress, the meeting of the 
Electoral College and last week's Inauguration of President Bush. As 
well, this class have distinguished themselves through their public 
service and their fund raising for the Red Cross to help the victims of 
the recent Tsunami.
  We are proud of you and wish you only the best in your future 
endeavors. Thank you.
