                        TRIBUTE TO BASIL JEWELL

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I was saddened to learn of the untimely 
passing of Basil Jewell. Many of my colleagues will remember Basil for 
the outstanding service he provided the Senate as a staff photographer 
until his retirement in 1989.
  No doubt about it, serving as a Senate staff photographer is not an 
easy job. You answer to 100 bosses, who always need you 5 minutes ago. 
And some of the photographs you take are of great historical 
importance.
  Basil handled all requests with great professionalism and a winning 
personality. I especially recall his work during a Senate delegation 
trip to the Far East in 1985.
  Basil retired from Senate employment to join his wife in her ministry 
at Chevy Chase United Methodist Church. Not surprisingly, one of 
Basil's many duties was taking photographs for the church newsletter.
  I know all Members of the Senate join me in extending our condolences 
to Basil's wife, the Reverend Alta Jewell, and to his entire family.
