“ Mr. Speaker, we live in a good country filled with opportunity and
good people. However, we venture outside of our borders all too little.
The Flinders University of South Australia Washington, DC Internship
Program provides Australian students with the opportunity to travel to
the United States and view our democracy and life in our country.
Equally, the program provides Members and staff with an opportunity to
learn about the political process and life in Australia, a country and
continent that too few of us visit. ”

“ The fruit of Tamera's labor has
been passed on to my colleagues in the House of Representatives through
my African American History Month Dear Colleague letters honoring the
lives of a different African American military hero each day. ”
