                        TRIBUTE TO JOAN REISCHE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Madam President, I rise today to 
pay tribute to Joan Reische, this year's Families in Transition 
Volunteer of the Year. Joan has been a dedicated volunteer in the 
Manchester Community since the 1970's, proving time and again why she 
is so deserving of this year's award.
  Joan has spent countless hours volunteering and enriching the lives 
of those less fortunate. She has been extremely active in the 
Manchester Area League of Women Voters, serving as President of the 
Chapter. She has also been a member of the Board of the Manchester 
Historical District Commission, a member of the Board of the Palace 
Theater for Performing Arts, a member and President of the Manchester 
Area Family Planning Council and current chair of Families in 
Transition. Joan also serves as a guest reader for the Manchester 
Elementary Schools, working with children learning English as their 
second language.
  I applaud Joan's commitment to serving and improving her community. 
Her time spent volunteering is above and beyond any standards set forth 
by her fellow philanthropists. Joan serves as a positive example for 
all in the Granite State. I commend her dedication and wish her 
continued success in her endeavors. It is an honor to represent you in 
the U.S. Senate.
