                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                        TRIBUTE TO SHAYNE PIERRE

 Mr. DAINES. Mr. President, I wish to recognize Shayne Pierre 
of Polson, MT as Montanan of the Week. This week, Mr. Pierre was given 
the rare honor of receiving the Colonel's Meritorious Service Award 
from the Lake County Sheriff's Office and the Montana Highway Patrol 
for his selfless acts to assist all victims of a drunk driving accident 
that occurred this past May.
  Shayne was riding the school bus home when the accident occurred. A 
speeding drunk driver caused a collision with the school bus, injuring 
both Shayne and his fellow students on the bus. Upon noticing a gas 
leak on the pavement, Shayne quickly instructed all students to exit 
the bus. He also acted heroically when he ran to help the driver who 
caused the accident, despite the injuries Shayne himself had sustained.
  Shayne's quick actions and selflessness deserve many thanks and for 
that, I want to recognize him. Through this incident, Shayne acted as a 
role model not only to the students on the bus, but to his classmates, 
peers and community. I am proud that he is a citizen of the great State 
of Montana and an example to all.
