On the recordApril 12, 2005
on September 30, 2004, I had the pleasure to announce that Senator Gordon Smith was the latest recipient of the Senate's Golden Gavel Award, marking his 100th hour of presiding over the Senate. The Golden Gavel Award has long served as a symbol of appreciation for the time that Senators contribute to presiding over the Senate--a privileged and important duty. Since the 1960s, Senators who preside for 100 hours have been recognized with this coveted award. On behalf of the Senate, I extend our sincere appreciation to Senator Smith for presiding during the 108th Congress. ____________________
