                       SALUTE TO VICTORIA HRUSKA

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, all of us who are privileged to stand in the 
political arena know that we do not stand there alone. Our families 
also stand there with us. They put up with the late hours and the 
missed dinners. Our victories are their victories, and our defeats are 
their defeats.
  One lady who handled the ups and downs of this life with great grace 
was Victoria Hruska, who passed away last week at the age of 88.
  Victoria was the wife of our former colleague, Senator Roman Hruska 
of Nebraska, and was at his side throughout his 2 years in the House of 
Representatives, and his 22 years in the U.S. Senate.
  Senator Hruska described Victoria as ``indispensable,'' and her 
daughter, Jane, said she was ``The foundation rock of the family.''
  During her years in Washington, Victoria would serve as the official 
hostess for events held for Nebraskans in Washington. She was also a 
member of the Senate Wives Club and the Red Cross unit.
  I know all Members of the Senate join with me in extending our 
condolences to Senator Hruska, and to the entire Hruska family.
