                        WELCOME SENATOR ASHCROFT

  Mr. LIEBERMAN. Thank you, Mr. President.
  Mr. President, before our new colleague from Missouri leaves the 
floor I want to add my welcome. I do so with a personal sense of pride 
and pleasure because he and I were classmates together at college. It 
gives me great pride to see him join Members here.
  The Chair will no doubt hold this revelation against the Senator from 
Missouri and me, but in any case, he was an honorable, decent, 
intelligent person when I knew him back more years than I will state 
for the record. I know he brings those talents with him here and 
beyond. As the senior Senator said, he is a person of extraordinary 
faith and comes here not only with great talent but with an appropriate 
spirit and a religious sense of humility. We could use that around 
here. I look forward to working with him in the years ahead.
  Mr. President, I thank the Chair.
  (The remarks of Mr. Lieberman pertaining to the introduction of S. 
246 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced 
Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. LIEBERMAN. I yield the floor.
