   THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF SENATOR DOLE'S MAIDEN SPEECH IN THE SENATE

  Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, as the majority leader and others have 
noted this afternoon it was 25 years ago today that the distinguished 
Republican leader, Senator Dole, delivered his maiden speech to the 
Senate. He spoke eloquently on that day, April 14, 1969, about persons 
with disabilities. And it has been in no small measure due to Senator 
Dole's energies in this area that America has made such great progress 
in ridding itself of the various forms of exclusion to which disabled 
persons were once so widely subjected.
  The Senator from Kansas brings those same remarkable energies to 
everything he does, making him an inimitable ally, and, on occasion, a 
fearsome opponent. He is a revered colleague to many of us, and a great 
friend indeed to the Senator from New York. I congratulate the 
distinguished Republican leader on a quarter century of incomparable 
service in the U.S. Senate.
