                       TRIBUTE TO ROBERT G. CARON

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Mr. Robert G. Caron of Rye. Robert was named New Hampshire's 
SCORE Counselor of the Year by the U.S. Small Business Administration. 
His outstanding service to the Portsmouth Service Corps of Retired 
Executives made him the perfect candidate for this year's award.
  I applaud his continued service and commitment to New Hampshire's 
small business community. His dedication to helping his fellow Granite 
Staters is exemplary. In his fourth year as a SCORE member, Robert is 
considered to be one of the most active counselors in the organization. 
Using his experience as the former senior vice president and CEO of an 
international chemical manufacturing company, he is able to effectively 
use his expertise in general management, marketing, profit and working 
capital improvement, strategic thinking and financial reporting.
  The business savvy that Robert brings to New Hampshire's small 
business community is to be commended. His continued service to the 
Granite State is a positive example for others. Robert so humbly 
stated, ``I'm grateful that SCORE has given me the opportunity to use 
my skills to help others in our community.'' New Hampshire is also 
grateful. It is an honor to represent you in the Senate.
