      TRIBUTE TO BRETT MURPHY ON BEING NAMED PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
honor Brett Murphy of New Ipswitch, New Hampshire, for being selected 
as a 2000 Presidential Scholar by the United States Secretary of 
Education.
  Of the over 2.5 million graduating seniors nationwide, Brett is one 
of only 141 seniors to receive this distinction for academics. This 
impressive young man is well-deserving of the title of Presidential 
Scholar. I wish to commend Brett for his outstanding achievement.
  As a student at Saint Bernard's Central Catholic High School in New 
Hampshire, Brett has served as a role model for his peers through his 
commitment to excellence. Brett's determination promises to guide him 
in the future.
  It is certain that Brett will continue to excel in his future 
endeavors. I wish to offer my most sincere congratulations and best 
wishes to Brett. His achievements are truly remarkable. It is an honor 
to represent him in the United States Senate.
