                    TRIBUTE TO SECURE CARE PRODUCTS

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Secure Care Products for receiving the United States Small 
Business Administration's ``Small Business Exporter of the Year'' award 
for 2000.
  A designer and manufacturer of electronic monitoring systems for 
nursing homes and hospitals, Secure Care Products began exporting to 
Canada in 1994 and currently exports to over six foreign countries, 
including Ireland and England.
  As a small business, they have demonstrated that they can succeed in 
the global arena, and I commend them for their hard work and dedication 
to their field. Their innovative solutions are providing necessary 
items to companies across the world, and I applaud their efforts.
  A former small business owner myself, I am continually impressed by 
small businesses in New Hampshire that have the initiative and vision 
to take their product to the global market. It is an honor and a 
pleasure to represent all of the employees of Secure Care Products in 
the United States Senate.
