         ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SENATOR COATS' 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today I have the pleasure to announce that 
Senator Coats is the latest recipient of the prestigious Golden Gavel 
Award,

[[Page S10379]]

marking his 100th hour as Presiding Officer over the U.S. Senate.
  The awarding of this Golden Gavel is particularly special, as Senator 
Coats is retiring at the end of this Congress. It was Senator Coats' 
desire to win a Golden Gavel before his departure. He has achieved this 
honor through dedication and the willingness to assist with presiding 
whenever possible.
  It is with sincere appreciation that I announce to the Senate the 
latest recipient of the Golden Gavel Award--Senator Dan Coats of 
Indiana.
