         MRS. LISA D'AMATO MURPHY, COMMUNITY LEADER OF THE YEAR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today I was informed that Mrs. Lisa D'Amato 
Murphy, daughter of Senator D'Amato, was chosen as ``Community Leader 
of the Year'' by the Island Park Kiwanis Club. Her significant 
volunteer participation in both civic and church activities is the 
basis for this distinguished award. It is important to mention that 
Lisa is the wife of Judge Jerry Murphy of the Island Park Village Court 
and the mother of five children. Yet, so strong is her commitment to 
others that she somehow finds the time to serve her community. While so 
many people bemoan the lack of hours in a day, Lisa clearly 
demonstrates that time for community service can be found--if it is a 
priority.
  On behalf of the entire Senate family, I extend our sincere 
congratulations to Mrs. Lisa D'Amato Murphy, Island Park, New York's 
``Community Leader of the Year.''
