   TRIBUTE TO TERRIE ARCHAMBAULT, 1998 MERRIMACK CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 
                      BUSINESS PERSON OF THE YEAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
recognize and congratulate Terrie Archambault of New Hampshire for 
being selected by the Merrimack Chamber of Commerce as the ``1998 
Business Person of the Year.''
  Terrie began working with Citizens Bank in 1990 as a part-time teller 
and was quickly promoted through the ranks: first to customer service 
representative, then to assistant manager, and in 1996 she became 
manager of the Merrimack branch of Citizens Bank.
  Terrie has shown an unwavering dedication to her community. She 
oversees a program at her branch called ``Bank at School.'' This 
program allows elementary school students to open new accounts, make 
deposits and, most importantly, learn the basics of personal banking. 
She organizes the collection of food and monetary donations for the 
Nashua Soup Kitchen and Shelter, and frequently helps serve food at the 
kitchen. In addition, through Operation Santa Claus at the Merrimack 
Lioness Club, Terrie helps provide Christmas gifts to families in need 
in her community.
  Furthermore, Terrie's involvement with the Merrimack Chamber of 
Commerce has strengthened the Chamber's ties with the community. 
Currently serving as Secretary on the Executive Board, Terrie has 
secured sponsorships for several of the Chamber's events. Along with 
her husband Dan of 28 years, as well as her two childen and four 
grandchilden, Terrie is a positive influence on her community.
  As a former small businessman myself, I understand the hard work and 
dedication required for success in business. Mr. President, I wish to 
congratulate Terrie Archambault for all of her accomplishments, and 
especially for being named the ``1998 Business Person of the Year.'' It 
is an honor to represent her in the United States Senate.
