                THE RETIREMENT OF SENATOR MALCOLM WALLOP

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a good 
friend of mine, a fellow Republican, and one of the true gentlemen of 
this Chamber, Senator Malcolm Wallop of Wyoming, who is retiring at the 
end of the 103d Congress.
  When Malcolm first arrived in the Senate 1976, I immediately 
recognized him as an individual White House would make many important 
contributions to this body, and I am pleased to note that he far 
exceeded my expectations. A man of great ability and integrity, Malcolm 
has dedicated himself to the responsibilities of his office and has 
truly distinguished himself over the past 18 years.
  Senator Wallop's keen mind, honed by the faculty at Yale University, 
and his strong sense of right and wrong have helped to guide his 
actions here in the Senate. As one who has strong understand of the 
Constitution, Malcolm makes certain that he abides by the restrictions 
and provisions dictated by that grand document. Furthermore, his voting 
record is one that reflects a person who places the interests of the 
nation above all others. While such a philosophy is often unpopular 
with the public and other Senators, it is the wisest way in which to 
govern. I am convinced that if only more members followed Senator 
Wallop's example, we would not face many of the disagreements and 
problems we do today.
  Mr. President, I am truly sorry to see Senator Wallop leave this 
body, but I know that he takes great pride in the service he has 
rendered the people of Wyoming and the United States. I have no doubt 
that Malcolm will excel in all his future undertakings and I wish him, 
and his lovely wife French, health, happiness, and success in the years 
ahead.
