   TRIBUTE TO ADITI GARG OF NEW HAMPSHIRE, 1998 DISCOVER CARD STATE 
                  TRIBUTE AWARD SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
commend Aditi Garg of New Hampshire for receiving the Discover Card 
State Tribute Award Scholarship for 1998.
  Established in 1992, the Discover Card Tribute Award program honors 
outstanding high school juniors and seniors across the United States 
and overseas schools. The Tribute Award Program honors excellence in 
community service, leadership, special talents, unique endeavors and 
obstacles overcome. Of nearly 11,000 students nationwide who applied 
this year, only those who most exemplify these characteristics receive 
the scholarships. Winners may use their scholarships for any type of 
post-high school education or training.
  Gold, silver, bronze and merit State Tribute Award scholarships are 
awarded in three categories of study: Arts and Humanities, Trade and 
Technical or Science, Business and Technology. Due to her outstanding 
written statement, Aditi received a silver award in the category of 
Science, Business and Technology Studies.
  It is no wonder Aditi is one of the recipients of such a competitive 
award. She is a member of the National Honor Society at her high school 
in Salem, New Hampshire. She is also a member of the varsity tennis 
team, studies Indian classical dance and enjoys her volunteer work at 
Holy Family Hospital in Methuen, Massachusetts. Both in school and in 
the greater society, Aditi stands out as a model student and citizen.
  I wish to congratulate Aditi for all of her accomplishments, and 
especially for being a distinguished recipient of the Discover Card 
State Tribute Award. It is an honor to represent Aditi Garg in the 
United States Senate.
