     VERMONT'S GREEN MOUNTAIN POWER CORP. WINS DISTINGUISHED AWARD

 Mr. JEFFORDS. Mr. President, I would like to rise today in 
recognition of the Green Mountain Power Corp. Green Mountain Power 
[GMP] was recently honored with the Edison Electric Institute Common 
Goals Special Distinction Award for energy efficiency.
  Douglas Hyde, GMP president and CEO, and a close friend of mine, was 
in Washington to accept the award which recognizes GMP's work as a part 
of EVermont. A public-private partnership, EVermont was formed to test 
and improve the winter performance of electric vehicles, or EV's. EV's 
provide clean, quiet, and environmentally sound transportation. For 
this service, we commend Green Mountain Power and EVermont and 
congratulate them on winning the EEI Common Goals Award.
