                         THANKING RUSSELL KING

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, in my role as Senate majority leader, I also 
serve as a member of the Joint Leadership Commission for our program 
for America's young people, the Congressional Award.
  As such, it is my responsibility, from time to time, to appoint 
individuals to serve on the Congressional Award Foundation's board of 
directors, which works with us to implement the program nationwide.
  Several years ago, when we were reorganizing the volunteer board, I 
asked Russell King, a senior vice president of Freeport-McMoran, if he 
would be willing to serve, and to make this program a truly national 
opportunity. He agreed, and has since become the foundation's 
treasurer, and two-term chairman, where he has presided over the 
exciting growth of the program.
  As Russ ends his tenure as chairman, I extend the appreciation of the 
Senate to him for his tireless devotion to the Congressional Award, and 
for his commitment to America's youth. We are fortunate that he will 
remain on the board, and will continue to work with us as this 
outstanding program grows throughout the country.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Stevens). The Senator from Maine
