                   FAREWELL TO SENATOR MALCOLM WALLOP

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I am sure that the people of Wyoming 
were saddened to learn that Senator Malcolm Wallop would be retiring at 
the end of the 103d Congress. Since 1976, he has been a strong voice 
for the interests of the people of Wyoming, and for the interests of 
the West in general.
  I have viewed Senator Wallop as a member of the loyal opposition 
since I entered the Senate in 1980. From my perspective, he has been a 
little bit too effective in this role, working to stop or change 
legislation which I supported.
  But although we often disagree on policy matters, I certainly respect 
Senator Wallop's courage of his convictions. He came to the Senate with 
certain views and beliefs, and he has held fast to them. Senator Wallop 
has been a strong voice in foreign policy issues, advocating changes in 
policy even when they were not popular. He has never catered to public 
opinion polls, but rather has stuck to his guns and done what he 
believed to be right.
  I admire his tenacity and his perseverance. It has been a pleasure to 
serve in the Senate with him, and I wish him well in whatever new 
challenges he may choose to pursue in the future.
