                      TRIBUTE TO SENATOR DeCONCINI

  Mr. Pell. Mr. President, I wish to salute my old friend and 
colleague, the senior senator from Arizona, Dennis DeConcini, on the 
occasion of his retirement from the Senate.
  Senator DeConcini family were among my earliest supporters when I 
first ran for the Senate and when he himself later came to the Senate 
we found ourselves joined in many common causes.
  In his capacity as chairman of the Intelligence Committee and as 
chairman of the Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe, 
Senator DeConcini frequently dealt with matters that also were of 
concern to the Committee on Foreign Relations. I always found him well 
briefed and articulate in putting forward his viewpoint in support of 
worthy and humanitarian programs.
  He has always been a cheerful presence in our midst and I have 
appreciated the Arizona oranges which arrived on my birthday with 
special greetings from Dennis and his wife Susan. When my oldest son 
took up residence in Arizona a few years ago, Dennis was quick to claim 
him as a constituent.
  I am sorry that Dennis DeConcini has decided to leave the Senate. I 
wish him a long and productive retirement in the Arizona sunshine.
