                               BILL EATON

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I know I speak for all Members of the 
Senate when I pay tribute to Bill Eaton of the Los Angeles Times. This 
is Bill Eaton's last day as Senate correspondent for the Los Angeles 
Times. He is to become the curator of the Hubert Humphrey fellowship 
program for foreign journalists at the University of Maryland. Bill has 
had a long, distinguished career as a journalist. He began at the 
Evanston Review, in Illinois, moved to United Press International, the 
Chicago Daily News, and then to Knight-Ridder.
  While at the Los Angeles Times, Bill covered not only Washington but 
served as bureau chief in Moscow and New Delhi. Bill has been honored a 
number of times by his colleagues and his profession, including being 
the recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting. Bill's 
careful and fair reporting, his genial demeanor, will be missed by all 
of us who had the pleasure to work with him. He also has the good 
judgment to vacation regularly in Maine, and I wish him well in his new 
endeavors and hope to see him captaining his new boat among the islands 
off the coast of Maine.
  I join all Members of the Senate in wishing Bill Eaton good luck and 
Godspeed.
