nation's oldest educational internships to focus on the state legislative
process; and
WHEREAS,
the internship program is a cooperative venture between the Georgia General

the House of Representatives and the Senate by assigning them to assist key
standing committees and legislative leaders; and

represent some of the best and the brightest college students in our state who

public service; and
WHEREAS,
the unique experience of participating in the legislative internship program has
undoubtedly enriched the academic study these college students have completed;
and
WHEREAS,
the members of the standing committees and legislative leaders who benefited
from the service of these interns commend their coordinators, Dr. Bill Thomas
