                       TRIBUTE TO ANDREW EMANUEL

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I show my 
support to Andrew Emanuel for his heroic efforts at the McIntyre Ski 
Area. He, along with Shawn Page, Alex Marion and Adam Anderson, helped 
to save the life of a fellow skier.
  Last winter, while enjoying a day of recreation at the ski slope, he 
noticed a child hanging from the seat of a chairlift. The skiers formed 
a human net to catch the dangling boy. When the boy fell, they saved 
his life and prevented him from sustaining any serious injuries.
  I commend this heroic act of Andrew Emanuel. He helped to save the 
life of a fellow citizen and brought comfort to a worried family. I 
feel that as long as we have such dedicated citizens, our Nation will 
continue to be strong. Andrew exemplifies the ideals of a Granite 
Stater and I am honored to represent him in the U.S. Senate.
