                             HON. SAM FARR

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 21, 2014

  Mr. FARR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the exemplary work 
of Dominic Jarvis, an Australian student who has done excellent work in 
my office through the well established Uni-Capitol Washington 
Internship Programme. Dominic came to us as an Environmental Studies 
student from Griffith University in Queensland, Australia. A self 
proclaimed ``pragmatic advocate in social equity and justice, 
environmental conservation, peace and democracy'' he has been a 
fantastic attribute to our office here and has worked hard on the 
issues most important to the constituents of the Central Coast. 
Dominic's undeniable passion for green policy and environmentally 
friendly politics has been a pleasure to witness in the workplace.
  We have had the opportunity to host students through this program for 
many years and Dominic has done well to uphold the high caliber of work 
that we have come to expect from these international students. The Uni-
Capitol Internship Program has done an outstanding job in providing an 
opportunity for political and cultural immersion for over 140 students 
in its 15 years of garnering cross-cultural connections and I am very 
proud to have been a participant in this fantastic exchange both this 
year and in the past. I would like to recognize the importance of these 
programs in creating stronger multi-cultural ties and better 
relationships between nations at all levels.
  Mr. Speaker, Dominic has been an outstanding ambassador of Australian 
culture and academic prowess. He is a pleasure to have in the office 
and executes his duties in such a cheerful and effective manner that I 
am sure his absence will be stark when he returns to Australia to 
complete his academic pursuits. I thank him once again for the time he 
has spent working in our office and the mark he has left on my staff, 
my district, and myself.
