                     RECOGNIZING ARMOND `RED' OLSON

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Armond `Red' 
Olson for receiving the Supporter of the Year Award from the South 
Dakota Habitat for Humanity. This is a prestigious award that reflects 
his hard work and dedication to eliminating poverty around the world. 
It is also a reflection of the valuable role he has played in giving 
back to his local community.
  Armond Olson, known as Red, is with Dacotah Tipis Habitat for 
Humanity. He has served on the affiliate's Board of Directors for 2 
years and has been a volunteer for every phase of the construction 
process. Since the beginning of the Dacotah Tipis Habitat affiliate 
program, Red has been an ambitious and inspiring supporter. He is a 
family man, and has been married for 37 years and has 3 children and 10 
grandchildren.
  It gives me great pleasure to recognize Armond `Red' Olson and to 
congratulate him on receiving this well-earned award and wish him 
continued success in the years to come.
