On the recordMay 23, 1997
I listened to my colleagues describe Jonna Lynne Cullen, and while I did not and do not know her, the description given by my two colleagues makes me, and I am sure other colleagues here in the Congress, wish we knew her. She is undoubtedly like friends that all of us have around this country, who represent the very small part of our population that gets involved and makes things happen, and truly demonstrate what good citizenship is all about. So, while I don't know Jonna Lynne Cullen, I commend my two colleagues from Mississippi. I also wish her well because she represents what is best of America.
