                        TRIBUTE TO NELSON DISCO

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Madam President, I rise today to 
pay tribute to Nelson Disco of Merrimack, New Hampshire, on being named 
as the 2001 President's Award recipient by the Merrimack Chamber of 
Commerce.
  A dedicated member of the community at large, Nelson has worked 
diligently donating his time and talents to projects and programs 
benefitting the Town of Merrimack including: Parks and Recreation 
Department tennis court designer, member of the Board of Selectmen, and 
Planning Board.
  Nelson was a recipient of the Paul Harris Fellowship Award from the 
Merrimack Rotary Club and was the 1990 Chamber Business Person of the 
Year. Retired from Sanders Corporation in 2000, he has been an 
exemplary contributor to the Chamber of Commerce assisting with 
programs including co-chair of the Gourmet Festival and volunteer on 
the Banquet Committee.
  Nelson enjoys his retirement exercising with friends four days per 
week and volunteering at the American Canadian Genealogy Library.
  I applaud the service that Nelson has selflessly provided to the 
citizens of Merrimack. His caring efforts have benefitted the residents 
of Merrimack and the community at large. I congratulate Nelson on this 
prestigious award and wish him well in his retirement years. It is 
truly an honor and a privilege to represent him in the United States 
Senate.
