                         TRIBUTE TO BILL SCALLY

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me take a moment to honor Bill Scally, 
Reuters' senior Capitol Hill correspondent, who yesterday became an 
American citizen.
  From what I understand, this native Englishman's desire to become a 
U.S. citizen is due in no small part to his adventurous spirit and 
uncommon determination. More than 30 years ago this spirit and 
determination brought him in a small leaky boat from the shores of 
England to the Canary Islands, and finally to his new home in America.
  The same spirit and determination carried him throughout the world of 
journalism in Britain, the Middle East, and the United States. Since 
1963, this talented journalist has reported for Reuters from the steps 
of the State Department to both ends of Pennsylvania Avenue.
  Perhaps the most remarkable part of Bill's story is the fact that, 
after covering Congress night and day for several years, he still 
wanted to become a U.S. citizen.
  We certainly congratulate and send best wishes to Bill, his wife 
Lori, and daughter Gwynnyth.
