      TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM WENTWORTH--2000 ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
honor William Wentworth upon his recognition as the 2000 Entrepreneur 
of the Year by the New Hampshire High Technology Council.
  Bill is the President and CEO of Source Electronics, a software 
programming company that he has increased in size from three employees 
in 1988 to its current number of 220. Bill's strong commitment to 
customer service and the highest levels of quality are the primary 
reason why Source Electronic was able to grow into such a successful 
business.
  Source Electronics illustrates true dedication to its clients by 
tailoring programs to meet their needs, such as an interactive website 
allowing customers the ability to submit and track their orders. It is 
competitive advantages like these that set Source Electronics apart 
from other companies and allows them to do business with large firms 
such as Lucent Technologies, Cabletron and Motorola, to name a few. The 
enthusiastic dedication to serve and support the customer is also 
demonstrated by the entire staff at Source Electronics, undoubtedly a 
result of the examples Bill has set for others. Under Bill's strong 
leadership, Source Electronics was voted one of the top ten companies 
in New Hampshire in 1997 and 1999.
  The hard work Bill has invested into his company proves his keen 
business skill. The dedication he has exhibited in placing customer 
concerns first is truly commendable. It is companies like Bill's that 
prove New Hampshire's competitiveness in the technological field. Bill, 
it is an honor to represent you in the United States Senate.
