 TRIBUTE TO BARBARA MULLEN, RECIPIENT OF THE JEFFREY MAY MEMORIAL AWARD

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Barbara Mullen for being awarded the Jeffrey May Memorial 
Award from the Londonderry Business Council. It is a pleasure to 
recognize her contributions to her community and the Granite State.
  In 1980, Barbara established the Londonderry Dance Academy and has 
been teaching children to dance ever since. Her community involvement 
has helped shape the lives of many young people in Londonderry and 
across the state. Barbara nurtures the aspirations of the town's youth 
by sharing her love and expertise of dance.
  As a faculty member of the Department of Dance at the University of 
New Hampshire, Barbara also instructs dance students at the college 
level. In addition, during the holiday season, Barbara and her students 
perform the ``Nutcracker'' at local schools and in other communities, 
in an effort to spread a greater appreciation for the arts.
  Barbara's dedication to dance, children and the community is 
exemplary and an example for others to follow.
  Mr. President, I wish to commend Barbara Mullen on her achievements 
and congratulate her on receiving this prestigious award. It is an 
honor to her in the United States Senate.
