                       TRIBUTE TO DENNIS COCHRANE

 Mr. KOHL. Mr. President, today I pay tribute to Mr. Dennis 
Cochrane, a Wisconsin resident who last Thursday concluded his term on 
the board of directors of the Northeast-Midwest Institute. The 
Northeast-Midwest Institute is a Washington-based, private, non-profit, 
and nonpartisan research organization dedicated to economic vitality, 
environmental quality, and regional equity for Northeast and Midwest 
States.
  During his tenure on the institute's board, Dennis has provided 
exceptional counsel and guidance, and in the process has helped to 
improve the economic development and environmental quality of the 
Northeast-Midwest region.
  Dennis is a partner in the law firm of Marcovich, Cochrane, Milliken 
and Swanson in Superior, WI. Prior to his law practice, he served as 
assistant district attorney for Douglas County, WI, and city Attorney 
for the city of Superior. He has served as a member of the city of 
Superior Harbor Commission and was active in the founding of the Head 
of the Lakes Council of Governments, which evolved into the 
Metropolitan Interstate Committee of the Duluth-Superior Region.
  I thank Dennis Cochrane for his leadership on the Northeast-Midwest 
Institute's Board. His valued service and council will not easily be 
replaced.
