                       THE PASSING OF HUGH SCOTT

  Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. President, I rise to express a very deep and 
profound sadness at the passing of our dear friend, Senator Hugh Scott. 
I first met him at the Republican National Convention in Chicago in 
1952, when my father was a delegate from Wyoming, and Hugh Scott, then 
serving in the U.S. House of Representatives, was one of the emerging 
statesmen of our country.
  Six years later he was elected to the U.S. Senate. He served with my 
father when dad was here from 1962 to 1966. They enjoyed each other 
very much although their voting patterns were somewhat dissimilar, 
considering they were both in the same party. But, respect and 
admiration was always the hallmark of their friendship.
  When I came to the U.S. Senate, Hugh was one of the first to greet me 
and wish me well and to ask how he could be of assistance. I always 
appreciated his good counsel and friendship. He was a wonderful man who 
possessed great civility and had a wide range of scholarly interests.
  He struggled on in these last years, but loved to come to various 
Senate-related functions. Although physically limited he always had a 
sparkle in his eye and was delighted to participate in ``things of the 
Senate.''
  He will be deeply missed. He was a gentleman, a scholar, a 
legislator, and a friend. We shall miss him greatly. We wish his dear 
daughter, Marian, and his dear grandchildren who he loved so very 
dearly, our deepest regards and respects.
  My Wife, Ann, joins in these expressions of sympathy and regard.
