“Today I am engaging in my own version of 'Bring Your Daughter to Work Day.' As we all know, this day does not fall on May 14, nor does it involve the daughter bringing along 40 of her friends, but this was the unique situation I faced today when my daughter Sarah stopped by my office with some of her schoolmates from the Twin Cities Academy in St. Paul, MN. Like many other students from across the Nation, seventh and eighth graders from the Twin Cities Academy are in Washington this week for a school trip. Their plans include visiting the countless museums and monuments throughout the city, a Capitol tour, and also the chance to be with us today in the Senate Chamber. I want to again welcome Sarah and her schoolmates to the Senate, and I am glad they have the opportunity to observe the activities of this body. In honor of their visit, I want to talk a while on the importance of young people understanding how Government works.”
