FUNDRAISING GALA FOR THE ANWAR SADAT CHAIR FOR POPULATION, DEVELOPMENT, 
                               AND PEACE

 Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, I want to bring to the attention 
of the Senate the upcoming fundraising gala for the Anwar Sadat Chair 
for Population, Development, and Peace. The dinner will be held on 
April 28, 1994, at the Grove Worldwide Lodge in Pennsylvania.
  In honor of President Sadat, a chair is to be established at the 
University of Maryland at College Park. The world-renowned scholars 
selected to fill the chair will continue Sadat's mission by developing 
research and educational programs, and by providing recommendations for 
peaceful solutions in the Middle East and other troubled regions.
  The leaders of this gala--Dr. J. Ramsey Farah, president of Pediatric 
and Adolescent Medicine, P.A.; Dr. Wilbur Renfrew McElroy, CEO of 
Action Products, Inc.; and Gerry Evans of Rifkin, Evans, Silver & 
Rozner--should be commended for their efforts to honor President Sadat. 
Former Secretary of State, Dr. Henry Kissinger, and Dr. Jehan Sadat, 
senior fellow at the University of Maryland are expected to be among 
those honored at the dinner.
  I hope the Senate will join me in wishing the very best of success to 
the organizers of this event. May the scholars selected to fill the new 
chair at the University of Maryland continue to promote President 
Sadat's vision throughout the world with their knowledge and 
expertise.
  Mr. HOLLINGS. Madam President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, was leaders' time reserved?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Yes, leaders' time was reserved and any 
Senator can speak for up to 10 minutes.
  Mr. DOLE. I thank the Chair.
