I want to join other colleagues of mine in thanking the fine young men and women who have served as pages for the U.S. House of Representatives this past session. I was particularly pleased to have Ms. Lauren Oswalt of Fayette County, Alabama here in Washington, D.C. She is a fine young woman and has represented her home area well. The pages not only provide valuable services to Members and their staffs, but they are able to learn a great deal about how their Federal government works. As they return to their communities and continue their studies, this knowledge can help them be effective citizens and leaders. To that end, I also want to thank the directors of the Congressional Page program. It is a fine combination of public service and education. Again, I congratulate the pages and thank them for their service.

I think we are spending it in the right place, but I think there are some places where it is not being used very efficiently.
