                       STENNIS LEADERSHIP PROGRAM

  Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, some 9 years ago, the John C. Stennis Center 
for Public Service Leadership began a program for summer interns 
working in congressional offices. This 6-week program is designed to 
enhance their internship experience by giving them an inside view of 
how Congress really works. Each week, the interns meet with senior 
congressional staff and other experts to discuss issues ranging from 
the legislative process, to the influence of the media and lobbyists on 
Congress, to careers on Capitol Hill, and more.
  Interns are selected for this program based on their college record, 
community service experience, and interest in a career in public 
service. This year, 25 outstanding interns, most of them juniors and 
seniors in college who are working for Democrats and Republicans in 
both the House and Senate have taken part.
  I congratulate the interns for their involvement in this valuable 
program and I thank the Stennis Center and the senior Stennis fellows 
for providing such a meaningful experience for these interns and for 
encouraging them to consider a future career in public service.
  I ask unanimous consent that a list of 2011 Stennis congressional 
interns and the offices in which they work be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in
