                       TRIBUTE TO CAROLYN MARTIN

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Carolyn Martin of the Keene Sentinel for being honored as 
the 2000 ``Small Business Journalist of the Year'' by the United States 
Small Business Administration.
  Carolyn not only covers news and feature stories, but underscores the 
unique needs and accomplishments of small businesses and the men and 
women who lead them as well. Over the past year, she has helped 
increase public awareness of small business issues and reported on 
community service aimed at enhancing small business opportunity and 
growth.
  Carolyn brings many qualifications with her to the job, as she has 
worked as a print and broadcast journalist in Annapolis, Maryland, and 
Mobile, Alabama. She also served as the senior communications officer 
with the American Association for the Advancement of Science and was 
Vice President of Community Development for the Chamber of Commerce in 
Mobile, Alabama.
  As a former small business owner in the state, I commend Carolyn for 
her hard work and dedication. It is truly an honor to represent her in 
the United States Senate.
