Whereas Art Rynearson has served as Deputy Legislative Counsel since October 20,

Whereas Art Rynearson for more than 26 years was the primary drafter in the

        matters relating to Senate consideration of international treaties;
Whereas Art Rynearson will retire on January 31, 2003, after more than 28 years

Whereas Art Rynearson has met the legislative drafting needs of the United

Deputy Legislative Counsel of the Senate, and expresses its deep 
appreciation and gratitude for his long, faithful, and outstanding
