 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
congratulate Jean Gorski for being named the 1998 Business Woman of the 
Year on February 5, 1998, by the New Hampshire American Business 
Women's Association. I commend her consistent drive and aggressive 
encouragement to improve the lives and opportunities of others.
  Jean is the Director of Development for the Northern New England 
Agency of Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company where she has held 
this position for seven years. She is also a member of the Small 
Business Association of New England, General Agent's Management 
Association and Women's Business Forum Steering Committee. She has also 
held many officer roles as well as been a member of many organizations. 
To name a few, she served as the sales manager for BankEast and New

residents and employees and developed a considerable portfolio of 
professionalism. Four words come to mind that best represent what Jean 
is trying to strengthen: leadership, community, teamwork and 
development. These are terms that bind all Americans together and 
strengthen the unity of this great country.
  These words best exhibit the tools she employs to bring about 
positive change and as a leader, encouraging others to rise to the call 
of self improvement. Jean's commitment to each organization she 
represents is extremely solid and substantial. She gives it her all and 
inspires others to follow her lead. Her actions and beliefs have become 
a catalyst for significant change resulting in profound achievements. 
Mr. President, I want to congratulate Jean Gorski for her outstanding 
work and I am proud to represent her in the U.S. Senate.
