                      TRIBUTE TO DAVID EHRENFRIED

 Mr. COHEN. Mr. President, recently, Dave Ehrenfried retired 
after 40 years as an editor and cornerstone of Lewiston, ME's Sun-
Journal.
  He began at the paper in 1956, where he quickly showed his talent for 
newspaper reporting. Dave held many positions throughout his tenure at 
the Sun-Journal. Most notably, his work was recognized by the New 
England News Executives Association with a first place award for 
editorial writing in 1982. In 1988, Dave was named the assistant 
executive editor at the Sun-Journal and in 1991 he became a 
representative, advocating for readers of the daily and Sunday papers. 
He was once again recognized by his peers for his dedication to 
journalism by being asked to serve as president of the New England 
Society of Newspaper Editors in 1993.
  Dave has always been a hard worker, a requirement when you work for 
one of Maine's leading newspapers. His coworkers hold him in the 
highest esteem, including one member of the Sun-Journal staff who 
referred to him as a quiet leader with sound judgment. Dave gave 
himself and his time to all who asked and the people who turned to him 
who knew that they were heard. Dave is a remarkable person who has 
dedicated his life to journalism and integrity.
  I commend his commitment to his family, his coworkers, and to Maine 
journalism.
