                        TRIBUTE TO THOMAS BURACK

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Thomas Burack of Dunbarton, New Hampshire, for receiving the 
``Cotton Cleveland Leadership Award'' for 2000.
  A renowned and engaging speaker, he is often found addressing 
business groups and honoring professionals who have made outstanding 
accomplishments. It seems only fitting, then, that he should be honored 
with this award which celebrates the accomplishments of an outstanding 
individual who has demonstrated involvement and commitment to community 
service as well as the ability to encourage and develop leadership in 
others.
  A graduate of the 1997 Leadership New Hampshire class, he practices 
law at the firm of Sheehan, Phinney, Bass, and Green, P.A. Over the 
past ten years, he has donated both time and experience to the 
Dartmouth Environmental Network, the New Hampshire Land and Community 
Heritage Commission, the Audubon Society of New Hampshire and the 
WasteCap Resource Conservation Network.
  A recipient of the Harry S. Truman Scholarship, Thomas Burack is also 
the founding President of the Truman Scholars Association and a member 
of the Board of Trustees of the George C. Marshall Foundation of 
Lexington, Virginia.
  Thomas Burack has proven himself to be an outstanding citizen, 
volunteer and a resource to his surrounding community. It is an honor 
to represent him in the United States Senate.
