                     TRIBUTE TO JEN JEN HAZELBAKER

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, on behalf of my fellow Missourians, I 
extend my warmest congratulations to my good friends the Hazelbakers on 
Jen Jen's naturalization as a U.S. citizen.
  As this family is aware, the freedoms we share in this country are 
not to be found elsewhere in the world. To maintain these freedoms, we 
must exercise the responsibilities that are incumbent with these 
liberties.
  As the English philosopher John Stuart Mill said, ``The worth of a 
state in the long run is the worth of the individuals composing it.''
  Already an important figure in her community and active in this 
country's political process, I am confident that Jen Jen will serve her 
new home well and I am proud to welcome her.
  We send best wishes for success in Jen Jen's future endeavors. We 
also wish this warm family continued success, happiness, and 
prosperity.
