               CONGRATULATIONS TO GOVERNOR DON SUNDQUIST

  (Mr. BRYANT of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BRYANT of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, last weekend, Tennessee 
inaugurated as its 47th Governor a man who has been a friend and 
colleague to many in this House, Don Sundquist.
  It was a gratifying and meaningful occasion for me, because Don 
Sundquist has been a close friend and a wise mentor, and because the 
people of Tennessee's seventh district chose me to succeed him in 
Congress.
  Over 12 years and parts of three administrations, Don Sundquist 
served his constituents honorably and diligently, holding true to his 
convictions and staying in touch with those who sent him here.
  All of us should be encouraged to witness the success of a former 
colleague. And all of us who hold the sincere desire to shift 
responsibility back to the people and away from Washington can only be 
encouraged to think that we will be turning over those responsibilities 
to activist Governors like Don Sundquist of Tennessee.
