                        TRIBUTE TO PAUL HOUSTON

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I wish to express my sorrow at the death 
of Paul Houston, a longtime congressional reporter for the Los Angeles 
Times and a familiar face in the Halls of Congress, who passed away on 
May 29.
  Paul's career as a congressional reporter spanned more than 20 years. 
He played a prominent role in the Times' coverage of Watergate, the 
House impeachment proceedings against President Nixon, and the Iran-
Contra hearings. He also brought to life the less publicized but no 
less important aspects of the legislative and political process.
  His reporting on the legislative agenda was tough, fair, and 
provocative. His skill and dedication were an example to many younger 
reporters.
  I believe I speak for all Senators when I say that Paul Houston will 
be missed by those of us who have the honor to serve in Congress, by 
the many readers who learned about our work through his reporting, and 
by his many colleagues in the Senate Press Gallery.
