    TRIBUTE TO LAUREN E. SIROIS ON BEING NAMED PRESIDENTIAL SCHOLAR

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to 
honor Lauren E. Sirois, of Salem, NH, for being selected as a 2000 
Presidential Scholar by the U.S. Secretary of Education.
  Of the over 2.5 million graduating seniors nationwide, Lauren is one 
of only 141 seniors to receive this distinction for academics. This 
impressive young woman is well-deserving of the title of Presidential 
Scholar. I wish to commend Lauren for her outstanding achievement.
  As a student at Phillips Academy in New Hampshire, Lauren has served 
as a role model for her peers through her commitment to excellence. 
Lauren's determination promises to guide her in the future.
  It is certain that Lauren will continue to excel in her future 
endeavors. I wish to offer my most sincere congratulations and best 
wishes to Lauren. Her achievements are truly remarkable. It is an honor 
to represent her in the U.S. Senate.
