                RETIREMENT OF DORA JEAN PHILLIPS MALACHI

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the autumnal equinox will bring the 
onset of dark days to the Congressional Budget Office, for on September 
22, Dora Jean Phillips Malachi will retire. Ms. Malachi is completing 
28 years of splendid service on Capitol Hill and she will be sorely 
missed.
  Dora Jean left her home in Louisville, KY, to join the staff of 
Senator John Sherman Cooper in 1966. She served, also with distinction, 
on the staff of Senator Marlow Cook before joining CBO as one of its 
earliest employees in 1975. At CBO she has served in a variety of 
administrative positions, and is currently the administrative secretary 
to the Assistant Director for Special Studies. Unlike the shorter days 
ahead, Ms. Malachi, in all her tasks, has been the embodiment of ample 
sunshine, bringing light and warmth to all those who have had contact 
with her. Beyond that, her ability to procure the most obscure bit of 
Hill information with a single well-directed phone call, or to secure 
for her colleagues entree to almost any event in a city in which entree 
is the coin of the realm, is legendary. The CBO is a much better place 
as a result of her service; she leaves behind many friends and 
admirers.
  Mr. President, I can assure you that although Dora Jean Malachi will 
end her 28th year of Federal service a day short of the 39th birthday, 
after a decade of work for the city of Louisville and Jefferson County 
and for the Domestic Insurance Co., no child labor law was broken. I 
have Ms. Malachi's word on this, and that is good enough for me. This 
government has been well served by this Kentucky Colonel and we salute 
her and wish her Godspeed on her well-earned retirement.
