                    THE RETIREMENT OF DONALD RIEGLE

  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, when this session of the Senate concludes, 
and we expect it to conclude sometime in the latter part of this week, 
the Senate will lose one of the most colorful and conscientious Members 
of our body. He is Don Riegle, from Michigan. One of my first 
legislative fights on the floor of the U.S. Senate was with Don Riegle 
at my side. Even though we were very junior Members at the time, and 
were trounced in that early vote, I knew that I had made a friend and 
had found a forceful ally.
  If there was a voice for fairness in the U.S. Senate, it was that of 
Don Riegle. If there was ever an advocate for ensuring that our actions 
here were the right ones for those who depend upon us the most, it was 
Don Riegle.
  The Senate will truly miss him, as will I.
  I wish him all the best in the future. I recognize and thank him for 
a quarter century of dedicated leadership in public service, and all of 
the accomplishments that he was instrumental in making.
  I will miss a close friend and associate.
