                        COMMENDING DAVID HANSEN

 Mr. DeWINE. Mr. President, I want to commend the service of 
David Hansen, who is ending his term on the Northeast-Midwest 
Institute's board of directors. David served as the institute's vice 
chair, provided stable leadership, offered a wealth of ideas, and 
advanced the organization's credibility. He now directs the Buckeye 
Institute for Public Policy Solutions, based in Columbus, OH. The 
Northeast-Midwest Institute provides policy research for the bipartisan 
Northeast-Midwest Senate Coalition and its Great Lakes Task Force, 
which I cochair with Senator Carl Levin of Michigan. I thank David 
Hansen for his service on the board of the Northeast-Midwest Institute. 
People from Ohio and the entire Northeast-Midwest region appreciate his 
valued counsel.
