                   THE 92D BIRTHDAY OF MIKE MANSFIELD

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, the following has been cleared by the 
other side, and I would like to ask unanimous consent that the Senate 
proceed to the immediate consideration of Senate Resolution 88, a 
resolution to congratulate Mike Mansfield on his 92d birthday, 
submitted earlier today by Senators Baucus and Burns; that the 
resolution and preamble be agreed to 
[[Page S4120]] en bloc; and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the 
table.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 88) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, is as follows:

                               S. Res. 88

       Whereas Mike Mansfield brought honor to the State of 
     Montana as a professor, Congressman, and Senator during a 
     period that spanned more than 40 years;
       Whereas Mike Mansfield claims the distinction of being the 
     youngest World War I veteran in the United States, and of 
     having served as an enlisted man in the Navy, Army, and 
     Marines, all before the age of 20;
       Whereas Mike Mansfield served as Senate Majority Leader for 
     a record 16 years;
       Whereas Mike Mansfield was instrumental in passing the 26th 
     Amendment to the Constitution, giving people age 18 to 20 the 
     right to vote;
       Whereas as a freshman Congressman, Mike Mansfield served as 
     an East Asian adviser to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt 
     during World War II, and later served as the United States 
     Ambassador to Japan for over 11 years;
       Whereas Mike Mansfield performed all of the above tasks to 
     the highest possible standards, and is a shining example of 
     integrity and public service to Montana and the United 
     States; and
       Whereas Mike Mansfield will celebrate his 92d birthday on 
     Thursday, March 16, 1995: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate congratulates and sends the 
     warmest birthday wishes to Mike Mansfield, a beloved former 
     colleague of the United States Senate, on the grand occasion 
     of his 92d birthday on Thursday, March 16, 1995.
