      ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF SENATOR JIM BUNNING'S 100TH PRESIDING HOUR

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, today, I have the pleasure to announce that 
another freshman has achieved the 100 hour mark as presiding officer. 
Senator Jim Bunning is the latest recipient of the Senate's coveted 
Golden Gavel Award.
  Since the 1960's, the Senate has recognized those dedicated members 
who preside over the Senate for 100 hours with the Golden Gavel. This 
award continues to represent our appreciation for the time these 
dedicated senators contribute to presiding over the U.S. Senate--a 
privileged and important duty.
  On behalf of the Senate, I extend our sincere appreciation to Senator 
Bunning and his diligent staff for their efforts and commitment to 
presiding duties during the 106th Congress.
