                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. FRANK R. WOLF

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, December 15, 2005

  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I am proud today to recognize and commend my 
constituent, Ms. Allison Biggs of Front Royal, Virginia, upon being 
selected as one of three recipients of the 2005 Pamela Harriman Foreign 
Service Fellowship. In 1999 the College of William and Mary in 
Virginia, in cooperation with the U.S. Department of State, established 
the Fellowship program to encourage top students to pursue careers in 
public service.
  The fellowships are offered to three outstanding undergraduates from 
across the nation. Ms. Biggs, a senior at William and Mary, is an 
accomplished student and community leader. She was accepted for a 
highly competitive internship in the State Department's Office of 
Policy Planning, working on nonproliferation and arms control issues.
  Now more than ever, as a nation we need to do everything we can to 
encourage our best and brightest young people to explore the call of 
public service, especially in serving our international interests. The 
Harriman Foreign Service Fellowship program will help Ms. Biggs gain 
invaluable work experience, and I ask my colleagues to join me in 
honoring Allison for receiving this outstanding recognition.
