                      TRIBUTE TO WELCHIE PATTERSON

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I would like to take the opportunity to 
express my appreciation to Welchie Patterson for his hard work as an 
intern in my Washington, DC, office. I recognize his efforts and 
contributions to my office as well as to the State of Wyoming.
  Welchie is a native of Wyoming and graduated from Sundance High 
School. He graduated from the University of Wyoming, where he majored 
in political science. Throughout his internship, he has demonstrated a 
strong work ethic which has made him an invaluable asset to our office. 
The quality of his work is reflected in his great efforts over the last 
several months.
  I thank Welchie for the dedication he has shown while working for me 
and my staff. It was a pleasure to have him as part of our team. I know 
he will have continued success with all of his future endeavors. I wish 
him all my best on his next journey.
