                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, February 26, 2015

  Mr. RODNEY DAVIS of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, for the past eight weeks, 
I have had the privilege of hosting Emma Jakeman as an intern in my 
office as part of the Uni-Capitol Washington Intern Programme, which 
brings students from ten of Australia's premier universities to Capitol 
Hill.
  From the very beginning, Emma displayed dedication and good time 
management in the office. She is very bright with excellent people 
skills and a thirst for knowledge of the American legislative process. 
Many times, Emma was the first to volunteer to assist with memos or 
legislative research and was always delighted to help in any way.
  She made the office a warm, welcoming place with her positive 
attitude and bright smile. Proud of her nationality, she was all too 
happy to enlighten me and my staff with knowledge of Australian food 
and traditions, even sharing with us a pavlova in celebration of 
Australia Day on January 26th.
  Although I was only able to have her in my office for a short time, 
Emma will always be a valued member of Team Davis. I am thankful and 
proud to have had the opportunity to have hosted such a bright young 
student in my office. I hope she is able to return to Australia with 
fond memories of her time on the Hill and I wish her the best as she 
finishes her studies at Monash University.
