                  THE RETIREMENT OF SENATOR DON RIEGLE

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a fellow 
Member of this body, Senator Don Riegle, who will retire from the U.S. 
Senate at the end of the 103d Congress.
  A native of Flint, MI, Don Riegle has represented the people of his 
State for almost 30 years, serving in the U.S. House of Representatives 
from 1967-76, and then in the Senate, from 1976 to the present. During 
his tenure in this body, Senator Riegle has emerged as one of its 
leading experts on business, economic, and monetary matters thanks to 
his extensive experience in these areas as both an academician and an 
executive. His expertise enabled him to do a commendable job as the 
chairman of the powerful Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs 
Committee, where he has won praise from many different sectors.
  Mr. President, Don Riegle is a hard working, studious, and thoughtful 
man who has brought much to the U.S. Senate. I wish him, and his lovely 
wife, Lori, health, happiness, and great success in all their future 
undertakings, and I am pleased to have had the opportunity to serve 
with Don.
