                   FAREWELL TO SENATOR HARRIS WOFFORD

  Mr. MITCHELL. Mr. President, I regret that when the 104th Congress 
convenes next January, our Nation will be without the service of 
Senator Harris Wofford. I want to express my gratitude to him for his 
outstanding efforts in the Senate on many issues of interest to both of 
us.
  Senator Wofford has been a leader in this Congress on issues of 
importance to every American. He has done as much as anyone to bring to 
the fore of our Nation's attention the need to reform our broken health 
care system. He has worked hard to advance legislation that would 
improve patient choice, contain costs, and extend care to those who 
need it but can't afford it.
  Senator Wofford was also a leader in advancing the idea of national 
service. Harris Wofford's longstanding commitment to the importance of 
each of us giving of ourselves so that those less fortunate than we 
might have a better life is unquestioned. He understands the value of 
public service and was a champion of legislation that allows young 
people to undertake volunteer work while earning money to pursue a 
higher education.
  Although his time in the Senate has been relatively short, Senator 
Wofford's contributions have been significant. I have greatly enjoyed 
working with him, and I wish him the very best as he returns to 
Pennsylvania.
