                      THE RICKI TIGERT NOMINATION

  Mr. RIEGLE. Mr. President, I want to commend the Senator from 
Washington [Mrs. Murray] for the outstanding effort she has made with 
respect to the Ricki Tigert nomination, and I think that was obvious 
when the votes were taken.
  I also want to say to our colleagues on the Republican side, both 
those who voted for the nomination and those who have agreed, albeit in 
some cases reluctantly, to the unanimous-consent request just entered 
into to enable this nomination to come to a conclusion tomorrow, I am 
very grateful for that decision, for that degree of bipartisan effort, 
to bring this matter to a close and to give Ricki Tigert a fair chance 
to assume this important position. I think she will be confirmed 
tomorrow, as she should be.
  But, again, I want to congratulate the Senator from Washington.
  Mrs. MURRAY. Let me also thank the chairman of the Banking Committee, 
the Senator from Michigan, who has done an outstanding job pushing much 
legislation through in my 1\1/2\-year tenure here, and also for his 
getting the Tigert nomination through. I appreciate all his help.
  Mr. RIEGLE. Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Kentucky.
