                        SALUTE TO SHIRLEY FELIX

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, as Members of this Chamber know, the Senate 
lost a devoted employee and many of us lost a cherished friend when 
Shirley Felix passed away on December 13, 1994.
  As banquet manager for the U.S. Senate for the last 20 years, Shirley 
worked closely with the leadership offices, and with the offices of 
almost every Senator.
  Once you began working with Shirley, it did not take you long to 
realize that she was a true professional. She knew how to get the job 
done right, and she did it with a friendly and caring attitude.
  Shirley's hours were often long, and the pressures of organizing 
important events were often great, but Shirley somehow never seemed to 
lose her good humor.
  Just as Shirley was loved on Capitol Hill, she was also loved by her 
family. I know I speak for all Members of the Senate in extending our 
sympathies to her husband, James; her mother, Mrs. Rebecca Plummer; her 
6 sons, her 12 grandchildren, and her many other family members and 
friends.
  Mr. HELMS addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from North Carolina.
