                           GOLDEN GAVEL AWARD

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, the Golden Gavel has long served the Senate 
to mark a Senator's 100th presiding hour and continues to represent our 
appreciation for the time these dedicated Senators contribute to 
presiding over the United States Senate, a very important duty. On the 
evening of Friday, October 17th, Senator John Sununu reached his 100th 
hour of presiding. As a Presiding Officer, his dedication and 
dependability are to be commended. I am truly grateful for his 
willingness to preside as scheduling conflicts arise especially on the 
not-so-popular Fridays and Mondays. He and his enthusiastic scheduling 
staff make every effort to do their part to carry their share of the 
presiding load with a smile. It is with sincere appreciation that I 
announce the second recipient of the golden gavel award for the 108th 
Congress, Senator John Sununu.
