       HONORING NEW HAMPSHIRE REVENUE COMMISSIONER STANLEY ARNOLD

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to a colleague for his service to the citizens of New 
Hampshire, Mr. Stanley Arnold.
  After 19 years of service to New Hampshire Stanley will be retiring 
in September 2002. His service as commissioner began in 1988 when 
appointed, by then Governor, John Sununu. Prior to becoming 
commissioner Stanley was an auditor in the Department of Revenue. 
Praised by Governor Jeanne Shaheen as, ``Essential in difficult and 
complicated policy debates,'' . . . ``Arnold has been a straight 
shooter through the five years that I have worked with him.'' Stanley 
has always strived to provide the best possible service to the people 
of the community.
  Lauded as one of Governor Shaheen's most trusted advisers, Stanley 
increased use of technology and established a unit to focus on 
businesses not filing tax returns.
  It is an honor to represent Mr. Stanley Arnold in the U.S. 
Senate.
