                         TRIBUTE TO DON RIEGLE

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, a few years back, our colleague from 
Michigan Senator Riegle, was serving as grand marhsall of a parade in 
his home State. When he arrived at the parade, he discovered he would 
be riding in a foreign car. Senator Riegle politely refused, and waited 
until the parade organizers located a Chevrolet. There can be no doubt 
that during his 18 years in the Senate Don Riegle has been a tireless 
advocate for the men and women who are employed by the American 
automobile industry, In good times and especially in bad times, he has 
worked to make their jobs and their futures more secure.
  Senator Riegle and I have known each other for a long time, having 
served together in both the House and the Senate. In fact, when Senator 
Riegle and I were in the House together, he was a republican.
  Regardless of what party Senator Riegle belonged to, and although we 
have often disagreed on the issues, I have always respected the way in 
which he has advocated what he believes are the best interests of his 
State.
  I do not known what job Senator Riegle will tackle next, but I do 
know that he will continue to serve as an eloquent and effective 
spokesman for many issues on which he has made a difference.
