 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
congratulate Dan LaCroix, honorary member of Gonic PTA, on being named 
the 1997 Rochester ``Citizen of the Year'' by the Rochester Chamber of 
Commerce. I commend his outstanding community commitment and 
congratulate him on this well-deserved honor.
  Dan's community involvements are numerous. He participated in the 
juvenile diversion program, the substance abuse prevention task force, 
and he is a current member of the red ribbon program. Dan is a coach of 
the Rochester Youth Soccer Association, vice-president of the Rochester 
girls softball, and chairperson of the community relations girls 
softball.
  Dan is known to many as always willing to take responsibility, 
whether to chair a committee, organize fairs, trips, and dances, or to 
help people in need. Whatever activity he commits to, he always gets 
the job done.
  Dan has dedicated his time, talent and energy to serving the 
residents of Rochester in an exemplary way. I am proud to honor Dan 
LaCroix's outstanding community commitment, which is so important to 
the future and prosperity of Rochester. We are indeed indebted to him 
for his efforts. Congratulations to Dan for this distinguished 
recognition. I am honored to represent him in the U.S. Senate.
