                     THANK YOU TO THE SENATE PAGES

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, let me take just a few moments first to say 
goodbye to the pages, to tell them how much I enjoyed being with them, 
being a grandfather of 5, and there are some almost the same age of all 
these pages. And I want to tell them they were a joy--one I call my 
``cook;'' she got me a bowl of soup. And the other one I call my 
``mechanic;'' having to go down and fix my printer--all of that.
  But they always kept their good humor with all of the pushing and 
shoving and asking for this and run for that, run for other, and they 
have been a treat. I think it is appropriate that they all go to the 
White House tomorrow, that they are recognized for the job they have 
accomplished here and the Vice President give them a certificate of 
appreciation not only for the President and Vice President but for all 
of the Senate.
  So I wish them well. I hope life is good to them. Just remember that 
all the luck in the world you might have comes from working for it. I 
think they understand that, after being here for a few months.
