Recognizing National Intern Day

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize National Intern Day, celebrated this year on July 30. This day is dedicated to recognizing and celebrating the future leaders of the world: interns.

This day serves as an opportunity for thousands of employers to commemorate and thank their hardworking interns. I take this time to recognize and thank the interns who joined me this summer--both in my personal office and on the Agriculture Committee--for their efforts.

Chloe, a Pennsylvanian and descendant of dairy farmers, worked in my personal office and was instrumental in helping the people of Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional District.

Jimmy, Katelyn, Harper, Raymond, and Madison supported the Agriculture Committee staff through dozens of hearings, roundtables, and other committee events as we work on behalf of farmers and ranchers across all 50 States.

From leading tours, helping constituents, drafting speeches, and attending briefings, these interns were a fantastic addition to my offices this summer.

Mr. Speaker, our interns are some of the best and brightest across our Nation. They should be proud of all that they have accomplished this summer.
