      ACKNOWLEGMENT OF SENATOR JEFF SESSIONS' 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, I have the pleasure to announce that 
Senator Jeff Sessions has achieved the 100 hour mark as presiding 
officer. In doing so, Senator Sessions 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 
Sessions and his staff for their efforts and commitment to presiding 
duties during the 106th Congress.
