TRIBUTE TO BRYCE PICKERING, THE 1997 U.S. SENATE YOUTH PROGRAM DELEGATE 
                           FROM NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
congratulate Bryce Pickering, the New Hampshire recipient of the 1997 
U.S. Senate Youth Program Scholarship. Bryce was selected by school 
superintendents from across the country as one of two delegates from 
New Hampshire for a week-long study of the Federal Government in 
Washington, DC. I was honored to have participated in the program as a 
member of the advisory board. I know first hand what an enriching 
experience this will be for him.
  Bryce is from Plymouth, NH, and in his senior year at the Plymouth 
High School. In addition to an excellent academic record, Bryce is 
president of the student council. Apart from his extra-curricular 
activities, he is also a school board representative, editor of the 
yearbook and a member of the school community council. Bryce is also a 
member of the Leo Club.
  Through his community and school work, Bryce has demonstrated great 
initiative and an interest in political affairs. He has been awarded a 
$2,000 college scholarship, and plans to study international relations.
  As a former high school teacher myself, I commend Bryce for his hard 
work and outstanding achievements, and wish him success in his academic 
career. Congratulations to Bryce on this distinguished honor.
