                   THE RETIREMENT OF DENNIS DeCONCINI

  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, I want to take this opportunity tonight to 
talk about another dear and wonderful friend who sits immediately 
adjacent to me in the U.S. Senate and has for a number of years. He is 
a departing friend and his name is Dennis DeConcini.
  We have been seatmates, as I said, for a number of years and close 
friends and associates. The Senate will truly miss the senior Senator 
from Arizona when he retires at the end of his term, the end of this 
session. Dennis DeConcini is one of the most conscientious Members of 
this body. His common sense, knowledge, and persistence have become a 
hallmark in the U.S. Senate.
  Dennis and I have worked together on many important issues here in 
the Senate and he is a fighter who I have always been happy to have on 
my side.
  For many years we had neighboring offices in the Hart Senate Office 
Building and it was also on his personal recommendation that I hired 
the principal consultant to my last reelection campaign.
  The Senate owes a debt of gratitude to the outstanding work and 
personal contributions of Dennis DeConcini. I want to add his leaving 
is my own personal loss as well as that of the Senate, and wish him all 
the best in the future.
