                      TRIBUTE TO S. ROBERT LEVINE

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to S. Robert Levine of Stratham, NH for being honored as a 
significant contributor to New Hampshire's growth and development.
  Robert co-founded Cabletron Systems, Inc., in 1983, expanding the 
computer networking company into a $1.5 billion corporation employing 
more than 6,000 people in 110 offices throughout the world. He was the 
recipient of the ``Entrepreneur of the Year'' award by Inc. Magazine in 
1991, and was included among the Nation's wealthiest people on the 
``Forbes 400'' list for several years.
  Robert also has operated his own business, Robert Associates, in 
Natick, MA, selling cable products. He earned a B.S. in Business 
Management from the University of Miami, FL.
  Robert Levine has been a generous supporter whose personal gifts 
include millions of dollars for police departments, schools and 
hospitals. One of his largest gifts funds cancer research at a teaching 
hospital in Worcester, MA.
