                   IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

                             June 19, 2002

 Mr. Smith of New Hampshire submitted the following resolution; which 
     was referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works

                               RESOLUTION


 
  Expressing the sense of the Senate that New Hampshire residents Ken 
 Curran and George McAvoy be honored for their initiative on behalf of 
   the taxpayer and the environment in the construction of the Moore 
            Reservoir Causeway in Littleton, New Hampshire.

Whereas Ken Curran and George McAvoy have given a lifetime of service to the 
        town of Littleton and the State of New Hampshire through both private 
        and public service;
Whereas Mr. Curran and Mr. McAvoy, as private citizens, suggested the 
        construction of a causeway in lieu of a costly bridge over the Moore 
        Reservoir;
Whereas Mr. Curran and Mr. McAvoy, on their own time and using their own money, 
        defeated construction of an expensive and unnecessary Interstate Route 
        93 bridge at Pattenville Draw near Littleton, New Hampshire;
Whereas Mr. Curran went out of his way to hire an engineer, develop plans for a 
        new Interstate Route 93 crossing, and submit those plans to the State 
        highway division in an effort to build the causeway;
Whereas after years of debate, a causeway was finally selected with a winning 
        bid of only $4,300,000, far less expensive than the original $20,000,000 
        to $25,000,000 estimate for a dual bridge;
Whereas the New Hampshire Division of Public Works and Highways estimates that, 
        as a result of Mr. Curran's and Mr. McAvoy's efforts, the total final 
        savings to taxpayers was more than $12,600,000; and
Whereas the great State of New Hampshire has recently designated the Interstate 
        Route 93 causeway at Moore Dam in Littleton as the ``Curran/McAvoy 
        Causeway'': Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That

SECTION 1. COMMENDATION.

    The Senate commends Mr. Ken Curran and Mr. George McAvoy for their 
exemplary service on behalf of the taxpayers of New Hampshire and the 
United States in the construction of the Interstate Route 93 causeway 
at Moore Dam in Littleton, New Hampshire.

SEC. 2. TRANSMISSION OF RESOLUTION.

    The Secretary of the Senate shall transmit a copy of this 
resolution to Mr. Curran and Mr. McAvoy of Littleton, New Hampshire.
                                 <all>
