                 IN HONOR OF TEXAS DISTRICT 22 INTERNS

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NICK LAMPSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 1, 2007

  Mr. LAMPSON. Madam Speaker, interns are often overlooked as we all 
rush around the Capitol, but I believe that Washington, DC, would come 
to a halt if there were none. The importance of the interns' role 
cannot be overstated, for they handle many tasks that, while not 
particularly glamorous, create a much more efficient workplace and 
allow legislative staffers to concentrate on policies that benefit our 
constituents and people across the country.
  This summer, my office was fortunate enough to have six great 
interns: Sue Banerjee, Kelly Boss, Omar Farid, Miles Hilder, Jenna 
Kubecka, and Kelsey McDowell. Each intern performed exceptionally well 
and deserves much appreciation for their service to the people of 
Texas' 22nd Congressional District. Their hard work and determination 
was noticed by everyone in the office, as well as by constituents, and 
I am proud to have such a talented and competent group of individuals 
working in my office. I know that the work ethic they have demonstrated 
this summer will carry them far in life.
  These impressive young men and women are certainly poised to do great 
things and contribute significantly to our country's future. My staff, 
constituents, and I thank you all for your service and wish you the 
best in your future endeavors.
