   ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SENATOR PETER FITZGERALD'S 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today I have the pleasure to announce that 
another freshman has achieved the 100-hour mark as presiding officer. 
Senator Peter Fitzgerald is the latest recipient of the Senate's Golden 
Gavel Award.
  Since the 1960's, the Senate has recognized those members who preside 
over the Senate for 100 hours with the Golden Gavel. This award 
continues to represent our appreciation for the time these dedicated 
Senators contribute to presiding over the U.S. Senate--a privileged and 
important duty.
  On behalf of the Senate, I extend our sincere appreciation to Senator 
Fitzgerald for presiding during the 106th Congress.
