                      TRIBUTE TO SENATOR MITCHELL

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, many of us were privileged, and I say 
privileged with the greatest sense of emotion, to be in attendance at a 
dinner given every other year by the wives of the U.S. Senate for the 
Members and most particularly those retiring.
  At that dinner we were privileged to receive the remarks of our 
distinguished majority leader, the Senator from Maine. Certainly at my 
table, and I am certain at other tables, it was received as one of the 
most moving moments in our Senate careers. It was an absolutely 
magnificent message. It appears in the Record just following remarks of 
my distinguished colleague.
  But I just wanted to pay respect to the distinguished majority leader 
for the friendship, the help, the guidance, and indeed the leadership 
that he has provided this Senator in the years that we have been 
privileged to serve together.
  I only wish at this point in time I could bring back to memory one of 
his most remarkable statements. It went something to the effect that 
the actions that we take, the things that we do in this Chamber we 
simply know not how far and wide those actions flow through our 
country. But we can be assured that there are many who will be 
affected, and hopefully those actions will always be for the greater 
betterment of mankind and our country.
  I yield the floor, and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Lautenberg). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. CAMPBELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to proceed as in 
morning business for 4 minutes for the purpose of introducing a bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  (The remarks of Mr. Campbell pertaining to the introduction of S. 
2474 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced 
Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
