         TRIBUTE TO KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ROCHESTER COUNCIL #2048

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
pay tribute to the Knights of Columbus Council #2048 of Rochester, NH, 
on the creation of the successful Future Unlimited Banquet Program. 
Future Unlimited is an annual event which recognizes the Valedictorians 
and Salutatorians from eight high schools in the Seacoast region of New 
Hampshire.
  The eight high schools represented in the program include: St. Thomas 
Aquinas High School, Berwick, ME, Dover High School, Somersworth High 
School, Farmington High School, Nute High School, Alton High School, 
Kingswood Regional High School and Spaulding High School.
  I commend the Knights of Columbus Rochester Council for their 
recognition of the scholastic achievements of the high school seniors 
in the Seacoast region. As a former schoolteacher, I applaud the 
efforts of the Knights of Columbus for rewarding students who have 
established goals and high standards of excellence in their academic, 
extracurricular and civic endeavors.
  The Knights of Columbus Rochester Council #2048 have served the 
citizens of Rochester and our state with pride and honor. The young men 
and women in the Seacoast region are blessed to have the encouragement 
and support of an organization which recognizes the qualities of hard 
work, perseverance and dedication. It is truly an honor and a privilege 
to represent them in the U.S. Senate.
