                   TRIBUTE TO SENATOR MALCOLM WALLOP

  Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, I want to commend and congratulate 
retiring Wyoming Senator Malcolm Wallop, who has been a proven leader 
in foreign and defense policy during his tenure in this body. I came to 
know Malcolm very well during our service together on the Select 
Committee on Ethics in the 1980's.
  I am told that Malcolm is a descendent of 19th century Englishmen who 
went to Wyoming to ranch and breed horses. He does, in many ways, 
resemble the early adventurers and explorers who tamed remote corners 
of the continent. He is proud of his heritage, which has given him a 
keen interest in world affairs.
  Malcolm Wallop always took a hard line against communism, even before 
President Reagan talked of the ``Evil Empire.'' He has been one of the 
Senate's strongest and most outspoken supporters of the strategic 
defense initiative and other weapons systems that helped to hasten the 
collapse of expansionist communism. We was also a key leader in the 
passage of the 1992 energy bill, having become the ranking Republican 
on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee the year before.
  Malcom Wallop has been an important leader in the Senate for nearly 
18 years, and he will be missed by his friends here and his 
constituents in Wyoming when Congress convenes early next year. It has 
been a pleasure to serve with him, and I wish him all the best for a 
bright future.
