                      TRIBUTE TO S. ROBERT LEVINE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to S. Robert Levine of Stratham, NH for being honored as a 
significant contributor to New Hampshire's growth and development.
  Robert co-founded Cabletron Systems, Inc., in 1983, expanding the 
computer networking company into a $1.5 billion corporation employing 
more than 6,000 people in 110 offices throughout the world. He was the 
recipient of the ``Entrepreneur of the Year'' award by Inc. Magazine in 
1991, and was included among the nation's wealthiest people on the 
``Forbes 400'' list for several years.
  Robert also has operated his own business, Robert Associates, in 
Natick, MA, selling cable products. He earned a B.S. in Business 
Management from the University of Miami, FL.
  Robert Levine has been a generous supporter whose personal gifts 
include millions of dollars for police departments, schools and 
hospitals. One of his largest gifts funds cancer research at a teaching 
hospital in Worcester, MA.
  Robert Levine has served the people of the State of New Hampshire 
with dedication and generosity. His contributions to the business and 
charitable communities of our State have been exemplary. I commend him 
for his philanthropy to our State and country. It is an honor and a 
privilege to represent him in the United States Senate.
