                 A TRIBUTE TO ENTREPRENEUR OF THE YEAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I pay tribute 
to an outstanding businessman, Robert Scott, on receiving New Hampshire 
Entrepreneur of the Year. His outstanding business practices and 
understanding have no doubt brought him to this place.
  Scott cofounded Octave Communications in 1998 with audio conferencing 
in mind. Since then, the systems that have been produced include the 
newest model that allows for wireless voice conferencing. With many 
more options available Octave offers browser-based scheduling, 
management and control for reservation-less conferencing over 
traditional public switched telephone networks and Voice over Internet 
Protocol Networks. Scott's effort has paid off in the growth of an up 
and coming company that is sure to make its mark on New Hampshire.
  It is always my distinct honor and privilege to represent fine 
businessmen like Robert Scott in the United States Senate.
