                TRIBUTE TO FREDERICK S. ``RICK'' SPENCER

 Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize Mr. 
Frederick S. ``Rick'' Spencer of Mountain Home, on the occasion of his 
retirement from the board of directors of the National Organization of 
Social Security Claimants' Representatives [NOSSCR].
  Since receiving his Juris Doctorate from the University of Arkansas 
School of Law in 1974, Mr. Spencer has enjoyed an outstanding career as 
a solo practitioner in Mountain Home. ``Rick'' Spencer's areas of 
emphasis include personal injury, worker's compensation, and social 
security disability claims. Among many other achievements, he is the 
founder of the Arkansas Injured Worker's Association and a 1989 winner 
of the Arkansas Trial Lawyer's Association's President's Award.
  In 1991, due to his extensive accomplishments in assisting clients 
who were experiencing problems in securing their benefits through 
Social Security, Mr. Spender was chosen as president of the National 
Organization of Social Security Claimants' Representatives. He has 
served on this organization's board of directors since 1992.
  On May 18, during NOSSCR's 13th national seminar for presentation of 
Social Security law, Mr. Spencer, along with NOSSCR's 11 other past 
presidents, will be retired from the board of directors. I know this 
will be an especially proud day for ``Rick'' Spencer, his wife, 
Coralee, and their daughter, Sarah.
  Mr. President, though he may be retired from NOSSCR, it is good to 
know that Mr. Spencer will be continuing his fine legal work in 
Arkansas. It is indeed my pleasure to recognize an Arkansan who 
contributes so much to his profession, church, and community. I know my 
colleagues join me in congratulating Frederick S. ``Rick'' Spencer, and 
wishing him every success for the future.
