                     TRIBUTE TO CHRISTINE GILLETTE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Christine Gillette on being named the U.S. Small Business 
Administration's ``1999 Small Business Media Advocate of the Year'' for 
New Hampshire. This is a very commendable honor.
  Christine is a journalist for the Portsmouth Herald. Her 
responsibilities entail covering business related news stories in the 
State. She produces two weekly business sections and covers business 
stories of local and regional interest.
  She has received awards for her coverage of business in New 
Hampshire, including from New Hampshire Press Association for business 
and economic reporting and the New England Press Association. She has 
constantly shown a knack for reporting on the business community.
  Her business associates commend Christine's dedication and enthusiasm 
about her job. They describe her as highly motivated, knowledgeable and 
talented. She has shown an ability to interpret change on a local scale 
as well as an international scale, and how it will affect Portsmouth 
area businesses. Her hard work and talent are commendable.
  Once again, I wish to commend Christine on her receiving this award. 
I wish her the best of luck in her future endeavors. It is a pleasure 
to represent her in the United States Senate.
