                            PRESIDENT NIXON

  Mr. DOLE. Madam President, like all of my Senate colleagues, I was 
saddened to learn last night that former President Nixon had suffered a 
stroke.
  I do want to report that I was in contact with President Nixon's 
office this morning, and related the concern of the Senate.
  They reported to me that the President is holding his own, and that 
he and his family are grateful for the thousands of phone calls and 
telegrams of concern which have come from across the country and the 
world.
  I have been privileged to know Richard Nixon for three decades--I 
have seen him in moments of victory and defeat--and if there is one 
thing I know, it is that Richard Nixon is a fighter.
  Like countless other Americans, my prayers are with President Nixon 
and his family in this fight. I look forward to his recovery, and to 
benefiting from his experience and wisdom for many years to come.
