                         TRIBUTE TO TIP O'NEILL

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I joined with many Members of the House and 
Senate this month in attending the funeral of former Speaker of the 
House, Tip O'Neill.
  Everyone who was privileged to call Tip their friend--and that was 
nearly everyone with whom he came into contact--has a story or two 
about Tip.
  His great sense of humor. His stories. His love of all things Irish 
and a good cigar. His dedication to his family, his church, his 
constituents, and the House of Representatives, where he served for 34 
years.
  ``All politics is local,'' said Tip. And he lived those words 
throughout his career, never forgetting the people that sent him here 
or the issues that mattered to them the most.
  And as Speaker, Tip regarded the whole country as local, and he was 
committed to helping all Americans in need.
  No doubt about it, Tip O'Neill was larger than life. And although he 
is gone, his presence and his accomplishments will be remembered in 
this city for many years to come.
