                       REMEMBERING CLINT STENNETT

 Mr. CRAPO. Mr. President, today I honor the life of Clint 
Stennett. I join Clint's wife Michelle, his family and friends in 
mourning his loss and honoring his distinguished life. There is deep 
sadness associated with the passing of Clint Stennett, who was a good 
friend and dedicated associate.
  Clint Stennett had numerous accomplishments in his life that was cut 
off far too short. Clint knew the meaning of hard work, and he made 
great use of his sense for business. Clint grew up in Idaho and 
graduated from Idaho State University, where he served as student body 
president. He worked for the Idaho Statesman selling advertising. He 
later went to work as a publisher for the Wood River Journal, and he 
served as president of a company that owned various Idaho television 
stations. He also had multiple Idaho ranches. Clint served in the Idaho 
State House of Representatives for 4 years before he began serving in 
the

State senate in 1994, where he represented Blaine, Camas, Gooding, and 
Lincoln Counties. For a decade, he also served as former Democratic 
minority leader for the Idaho State Senate.
  Clint always kept his mind and heart open as he worked hard for 
Idahoans. Clint was a principled, considerate and devoted leader. With 
an unequalled dedication, he had a love for natural resources, 
agricultural efforts and the beauty of the State. Clint was a 
successful, hard-working and fair businessman. He loved his family very 
much, and he will be remembered as a loving husband and brother.
  My condolences and heart-felt prayers go out to his wife Michelle, 
his extended family, friends and loved ones. Clint Stennett will be 
greatly missed, and his immense contribution to the State of Idaho will 
not be forgotten.
