              SENATOR WAYNE ALLARD'S 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, I have the pleasure to announce that 
Senator Wayne Allard has achieved the 100 hour mark as presiding, 
officer. In doing so, Senator Allard has earned his second Golden Gavel 
Award.
  Since the 1960's, the Senate has recognized those dedicated 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 
Allard and his staff for their efforts and commitment to presiding 
duties during the 106th Congress.
