                     TRIBUTE TO DR. ROBERT KRASNER

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, as we end this session, we do so with the 
realization that we are losing a very special person who fills an 
extraordinary role. Dr. Robert Krasner, our popular and extraordinarily 
competent Capitol physician, will soon depart. I know that I speak for 
all of my colleagues in acknowledging how much he will be missed.
  In the years in which he has served in the Capitol physician's 
office, Dr. Krasner has become the personal physician to virtually each 
of us. I use the word ``personal'' in more than the medical sense. He 
has been a mentor, a friend, a valuable resource, in addition to being 
the best physician for which anyone could ask.
  In what must be a position which brings great pressures and 
expectations, Dr. Krasner has performed with extraordinary 
professionalism. His service to the Congress and to the country has 
brought honor to himself and to his profession. We simply could not 
have been better served. We are fortunate to have been blessed by his 
friendship and his service.
  As he departs, we wish him, his wife, Leslie, his children Justin and 
Jessica the very best. May they continue to enjoy good health, much 
happiness, and great success. They deserve all of this and more. They 
will be in our thoughts as they begin their new challenges.
