                      TRIBUTE TO FREDERICK BISHOP

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Frederick W. Bishop of Hooksett, NH. Frederick has been 
chosen as New Hampshire's Citizen of the Year for his exceptional 
leadership and devoted service to the community.
  I commend his active role in both the community of Hooksett and the 
Granite State. He has served countless hours on Boards and holds 
positions in numerous organizations within the state. Mr. Bishop has 
served as Chairman of the Hooksett Police Commission, President of the 
Hooksett Men's Club, member of the Memorial School Booster's Club, 
Chairman of the Hooksett Winter Carnival, Treasurer of the Hooksett 
Underhill School PTO, Chairman of the Librarian of the Year Award 
Event, and numerous other positions and memberships.
  Along with his positions, Frederick has found time to serve as a 
Little League Coach, a member of the Hooksett Emergency Medical 
Services Committee, and a volunteer for Catholic Charities. Frederick 
is also a member of the Business and Industry Association of NH, the 
New Hampshire Easter Seal Society, and the Kiwanis Club. His efforts to 
improve the community in which he lives serve as a positive role model 
for people in towns across the country. He has been instrumental in 
raising the membership of the Hooksett Kiwanis Club by personally 
sponsoring 180 new members.
  Frederick Bishop is one of the most deserving candidates of this 
recognition that I have encountered. His efforts and devotion have made 
the Town of Hooksett a better place to live. He should be proud of his 
accomplishments and service. It is truly an honor to represent him in 
the U.S. Senate.
