           ATTORNEY GENERAL'S AWARD FOR DISTINGUISHED SERVICE

  Mr. PACKWOOD. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate Reid M. 
Figel, the deputy chief of the securities and commodities fraud task 
force, U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of New York, for 
being awarded the 42d annual Attorney General's Award for Distinguished 
Service.
  Reid was selected by Attorney General Janet Reno to receive this 
award as a result of his excellent work in prosecuting the Banco 
National del Lavoro--BNL--case in Atlanta, GA, last year. Attorney 
General Reno will present Reid with the award at a ceremony in 
Washington, DC, on Thursday, July 28.
  I also want to mention that Reid is a graduate of New York University 
School of Law, an excellent law school which also happens to be my alma 
mater.
  Reid is a great lawyer, and he exemplifies the hard work and 
dedication which exists in U.S. attorney offices throughout the 
country. I applaud Attorney General Reno on her selection and want to 
congratulate Reid on his distinguished service award and for a job well 
done. I thank the Chair.

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Under the previous order, the Senator from 
Vermont [Mr. Jeffords] is recognized to speak for up to 30 minutes and 
the time for morning business will be extended accordingly. The Senator 
from Vermont.
