                         TRIBUTE TO CODI VACHON

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, today I show my 
support for Codi Vachon of Manchester, NH. Her heroic actions saved the 
life of a drowning boy.
  While life guarding she noticed twelve-year old Julio Velez at the 
bottom of the pool. Codi later learned that Julio had experienced a 
seizure and by acting quickly she was able to bring the boy to safety.
  Codi Vachon is to be commended for her selfless actions. As long as 
we have such dedicated citizens, our nation will continue to be strong. 
Codi exemplifies the ideals of a Granite Stater. It is an honor and 
privilege to represent her in the U.S. Senate.
