                          HONORING ROSIE WHITE

  Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a valued staff member 
who has recently retired. Rosie White joined my staff in June 1994, 
shortly after I began my service in the U.S. House of Representatives. 
She has been vital to the operating of my State offices, by providing 
stability and organization. She has served as my State scheduler for 
more than 4 years--ever since I was elected to the Senate, and she has 
done an outstanding job. She has managed to balance the needs and 
demands from constituents in the State, other staff members, and my 
family during that time, and she has my utmost admiration for handling 
it all so well.
  Rosie has been active in local Republican politics for many years, 
and she was extremely involved in local charities, most particularly 
the Booth Home in Boise and the Salvation Army. Her contributions to 
Idaho have been many and varied as well as appreciated. She brought 
vitality and enthusiasm to nearly ever project she tackled, and it was 
always fun to hear about her experiences. I enjoyed working with her 
and know that many others join me to extend their best wishes to her as 
she retires to spend more time with her husband, Cal. She was an asset 
to my office and I am pleased to call her my friend.
