  Mr. KILDEE. Madam Speaker, today is a day of mixed emotion for all of 
us who work with the Page Program. It is time to say goodbye to 26 
young aspiring individuals who have served the U.S. Congress for the 
last 5 months.
  On behalf of the U.S. House of Representatives, I would like to thank 
you all for your hard work, commitment and dedication to the Page 
Program.
  I know you have made your families, friends and communities back home 
proud, and I am certain that they will be glad to get you back. As 
difficult as it is to say good-bye, I trust that you will take with you 
memories, experlences and friends that will last a lifetime. Take with 
you also our sincere thanks for a job well done. Your hard work and 
dedication have proven that you are young people with strength, courage 
and character. We look forward to hearing about all of your many future 
successes. Best wishes for safe travels home, luck in the rest of your 
Junior year, and much happiness always. There is no question that you 
are all destined for bright futures.
  May God bless you all.
