    TRIBUTE TO PAUL HOLLOWAY ON BECOMING PRESIDENT OF THE NATIONAL 
                     AUTOMOBILE DEALERS ASSOCIATION

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
congratulate Paul Holloway, a distinguished individual and good friend, 
on being selected to become the President of the National Automobile 
Dealers Association (NADA). As a friend of Paul's for over a decade, I 
commend his outstanding achievement and compliment him on this well-
deserved honor.
  Paul will be the first New Hampshire automobile dealer to serve as 
President of NADA. This is a great honor not only for Paul, but for the 
Granite State. It is Paul's strong work ethic and Yankee ingenuity that 
have catapulted he and his wife, Anna Grace, from the first Buick-
Pontiac dealership they bought in 1967 to the five dealerships they 
have today.
  Paul's strong drive and spirit was exhibited forty years ago when 
Paul passed up a career in professional football to finish his bachelor 
of science degree in business at Temple University in Philadelphia. 
Paul was drafted as a linebacker by several teams, but instead decided 
to pursue his career in the automobile industry. New Hampshire is 
fortunate that he made the choice he did.
  I am certain Anna Grace, along with their children Scott and Debra, 
are as proud of Paul's achievements as are his friends and colleagues 
in New Hampshire. Paul's commitment and dedication to excellence will 
benefit the members of NADA as much as it has the people of New 
England. Paul Holloway will be a vibrant and effective leader for NADA.
  Congratulations, Paul, on this outstanding recognition by your 
colleagues in the industry. I know you will meet this new challenge 
with honor and distinction. I am proud to represent you in the U.S. 
Senate and proud to call you a friend.
