                           THE 103D CONGRESS

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, we verge toward the final moments of the 
103d Congress. Our work here is nearly finished. The good that we have 
achieved, and the efforts that have failed, will both become paragraphs 
in the history of this institution and in the unfinished biographies of 
us all. Even with the sincerest of regrets, that which we have done, 
cannot be undone; and even with the most impassioned of yearnings, that 
which we have left undone, cannot now be accomplished.

     For ere the glass that now begins to run
     Finish the process of his sandy hour,
     These eyes, that see thee now well coloured,
     Shall see thee wither'd, bloody, pale, and dead.--
