                       TRIBUTE TO DUSTIN SHERWOOD

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I show my 
support for Dustin Sherwood of Barnstead. Dustin, along with his two 
friends John Lank and Nick Poulin, saved the life of a distressed 
boater.
  While boating on Suncook Lake in July, the three boys noticed a boat 
that was moving erratically. Upon closer inspection, they realized the 
driver had lost control and had fallen into the water. Skillfully the 
three regained control of the boat and dragged the Vermont teen to 
safety.
  I commend you Dustin for your selfless act of heroism. You gave of 
yourself to help another in need. There is no greater gift. It is an 
honor to represent you in the U.S. Senate.
