                         TRIBUTE TO ALEX MARION

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Madam President, today I show my 
support for Alex Marion for his heroic efforts at the McIntyre Ski 
Area. He, along with Shawn Page, Adam Anderson, and Andrew Emanuel, 
helped to save the life of a fellow skier.
  While enjoying a day of recreation at the ski slope, he noticed a 
child hanging from the seat of a chairlift. The skiers formed a human 
net to catch the boy when he fell. Alex helped save the boy and prevent 
any serious injuries.
  I commend this heroic act of Alex Marion. He helped to save the life 
of a fellow citizen and brought comfort to a worried family. As long as 
we have

such dedicated citizens our nation will continue to be strong. Alex 
exemplifies the ideals of a Granite Stater and I am honored to 
represent him in the U.S. Senate.
