William H. Frist said "the Golden Gavel has long served the Senate to mark a Senator's 100th presiding hour and continues to represent our appreciation for the time these dedicated Senators contribute to presiding over the United States Senate, a very important duty. On the evening of Friday, October 17th, Senator John Sununu reached his 100th hour of presiding. As a Presiding Officer, his dedication and dependability are to be commended. I am truly grateful for his willingness to preside as scheduling conflicts arise especially on the not-so-popular Fridays and Mondays. He and his enthusiastic scheduling staff make every effort to do their part to carry their share of the presiding load with a smile. It is with sincere appreciation that I announce the second recipient of the golden gavel award for the 108th Congress, Senator John Sununu." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
