                         HONORING STEVEN CHOTIN

  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, today I honor Mr. Steven Chotin, one of 
Colorado's leading citizens, for his many contributions and outstanding 
dedication to our great state.
  On the heels of his 50th birthday, I would like to take this 
opportunity to formally recognize my friend, a long-time motorcycling 
partner, for his philanthropic and civic activities of the past few 
decades. Steven has been a legend in a variety of charitable causes in 
Colorado, giving of his time and energy generously, as well as 
financially, to The Denver Center for the Performing Arts, The Colorado 
Symphony, The Allied Jewish Federation of Denver, National Jewish 
Hospital, Shalom Park and many other worthy endeavors.
  Mr. Chotin has served on the boards of numerous community and 
charitable organizations, including Fresh Start, a program committed to 
paving a way out for Denver's inner-city youth. Equally renowned are 
Steven's activities in civic and business affairs. As head of The 
Chotin Group Corporation, National Mortgage Corporation and Merchants 
Mortgage Corporation, he has succeeded in providing gainful employment 
to a significant number of Denver area residents.
  I am sure I speak for all Coloradans in extending Steven my 
congratulations and appreciation for leaving such an indelible mark on 
our state by the young age of 50. I wish him many more years of 
happiness and fruition as a Colorado resident.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor and I suggest the absence of a 
quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Roberts). The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. HOLLINGS. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Ms. Collins). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. HOLLINGS. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent I may speak as 
in morning business for 20 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. HOLLINGS. I thank the distinguished Chair.
