  Mr. HASTINGS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Jack 
Keleher. Jack has worked in my Washington, D.C. Congressional office as 
an intern through the Uni-Capitol Washington Internship Programme 
(UCWIP) since January. I am so pleased to acknowledge his hard work and 
dedication.
  Jack is currently pursuing his Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Laws at 
Deakin University in Victoria, where he is a Member of the Deakin Law 
Student's Society, the Law Institute of Victoria, and the Golden Key 
International Honor Society. He earned a certificate in Advanced Legal 
Research in 2017 and gained valuable experience as a legal caseworker, 
law clerk, and paralegaL
  For the past 19 years, UCWIP has paired students from nearly a dozen 
partner universities in Australia with offices on Capitol Hill, giving 
them the opportunity to work in the halls

of Congress and learn about the American legislative process. Over the 
years, I have been honored to host many outstanding Australian 
students, and Jack has been no exception.
  As an intern, Jack has helped my office with many of the day-to-day 
administrative functions, including taking calls from constituents, 
welcoming visitors, and drafting letters in response to inquiries. He 
also had the opportunity to work on floor remarks, as well as helping 
my staff with legislative research and outreach on several bills that I 
have introduced in the 116th Congress. Jack approached his internship 
with great enthusiasm and clearly has showed his passion for public 
service.
  On February 5th, Jack had the opportunity to attend the 2019 State of 
the Union Address by President Trump. I know this is just one of 
several experiences that he will take away from his time in Washington 
and the United States.
  Madam Speaker, it has been my honor to host Jack for his 
Congressional internship. I have no doubt he will go on to do great 
things in the future. I wish him much success.
