Expressing the gratitude of the United States Senate for the service of 
 Francis L. Burk, Jr., Legislative Counsel of the United States Senate.

Whereas Francis L. ``Frank'' Burk, Jr., the Legislative Counsel of the United

Whereas Frank Burk, from January 1, 1991, to December 31, 1998, served as the

        professionalism, and integrity in faithfully discharging the duties and 
        responsibilities of his position;
Whereas Frank Burk for more than 25 years was the primary drafter in the Senate 
        of virtually all legislation relating to banking, securities, housing, 
        mass transit, and small business, and as Legislative Counsel 
        participated in the drafting of legislation relating to the operations 
        and rules of the Senate;
Whereas Frank Burk retired on December 31, 1998, after more than 30 years of 
        Government service, including 2 years with the United States Army; and
