TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM MARVIN ON BEING NAMED THE 1996 MANCHESTER CITIZEN OF 
                                THE YEAR

 Mr. BOB SMITH. Mr. President, I rise today to congratulate 
Bill Marvin, president of Manpower Temporary Services, on being named 
the 1996 Manchester's Citizen of the Year. I commend his outstanding 
community commitment and congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.
  As chairman of the 1996 Optima Board, Bill oversaw the capital 
campaigns for the Currier Gallery and the Palace Theatre, the downtown 
ice skating rink, and the merger of Catholic Medical Center and Elliot 
Hospital.
  Bill is a member of the Manchester Rotary Club, the Manchester 
Chamber of Commerce and the Catholic Medical Center. He has also 
brought two area hospitals together and has helped to organize bingo 
games for the Boys and Girls Club.
  He is known to many as always willing to take responsibility, whether 
to chair a committee, raise money, or oversee a board of directors. 
Whatever Bill dedicates his time to, he always gets the job done.
  While giving his time to all these community projects, Bill and his 
wife, Ann, operate Manpower Temporary Services which was named the 1995 
Service Business by Business New Hampshire magazine.
  As a former small businessman myself, I am proud to honor Bill 
Marvin's outstanding community commitment that is important to the 
future and prosperity of Manchester. We are indeed indebted to him for 
his efforts. Congratulations to Bill on this award and his service to 
New Hampshire and the people of Manchester.
