  COMMENDING THE SERVICE OF NORTHEAST-MIDWEST INSTITUTE BOARD MEMBER 
                              STEVE ADAMS

 Ms. COLLINS. Mr. President, I rise to commend the service of 
Steve Adams, who is ending his term on the Board of Directors for the 
Northeast-Midwest Institute. Steve has offered exceptional service to 
the Institute, and in the process helped to improve our region's 
economic development and environmental quality. The Northeast-Midwest 
Institute provides policy analysis for the bipartisan Northeast-Midwest 
Senate Coalition, which I co-chair with Senator Jack Reed of Rhode 
Island. Steve Adams, whom I met when he directed the Maine State 
Planning Office, is now with the Pioneer Institute in Boston. He was 
formerly a vice president with the Initiative for a Competitive Inner 
City, debt management assistant in the Office of the Treasurer for the 
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and a senior policy analyst with the 
Massachusetts Taxpayers Foundation.
  I want to thank Steve Adams for his leadership on the Northeast-
Midwest Institute's Board of Directors. He has provided valued service 
and helped increase that organization's reputation and 
effectiveness.
