      COMMENDING CHICK REYNOLDS ON THE OCCASION OF HIS RETIREMENT

  Mr. DOLE. I send a resolution to the desk on behalf of myself and 
Senator Daschle and ask for its immediate consideration.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will state the resolution by title.
  The legislative clerk read as follows:

       A resolution (S. Res. 96) commending Chick Reynolds on the 
     occasion of his retirement.

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection to the immediate 
consideration of the resolution?
  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the 
resolution.
                      retirement of chick reynolds

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, our friend Chick Reynolds, chief reporter of 
the Official Reporters of Debates, has notified the Secretary of the 
Senate that he intends to retire effective July 7, 1995.
  Mr. Reynolds' remarkable Senate career began in 1974 when he was 
appointed an official reporter of debates. He later became the chief 
reporter in 1988. Mr. Reynolds' service has been honorable as well as 
memorable--his reporting has often landed him in the center of the 
day's headlines.
  In his two decades of service, Mr. Reynolds reported Federal agency 
hearings and various committee testimonies in both the House and the 
Senate, including such notable events as the Joseph McCarthy and Jimmy 
Hoffa hearings. He covered the White House during the Kennedy, Johnson, 
and Nixon administrations.
  And Mr. Reynolds is truly a part of our country's great history. 
During his assignment in the Kennedy administration, he reported 
President Kennedy's famous Berlin speech and was in the Presidential 
motorcade on that tragic day in Dallas, when President Kennedy was 
assassinated.
  Mr. Reynolds has served the Senate and the Nation with distinction 
and loyalty for over 20 years. I know all Senators will join me in 
wishing Chick and his wife, Lucille, our sincere gratitude and our 
prayers in his retirement.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, the resolution is agreed to 
and the preamble is agreed to.
  So the resolution (S. Res. 96) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  The resolution, with its preamble, is as follows:

       Whereas Chick Reynolds will retire from service to the 
     United States Senate after twenty years as a member of the 
     staff of the Official Reporters of Debates;
       Whereas he has served the United States Senate with honor 
     and distinction since joining the staff of the Official 
     Reporters of Debates on July 1, 1974;
       Whereas his hard work and outstanding excellence as an 
     official reporter resulted in his appointment to the position 
     of Chief Reporter on May 1, 1988;
       Whereas, Chick Reynolds, as Chief Reporter of the 
     Congressional Record, has at all times executed the important 
     duties and responsibilities of his office with great 
     efficiency and diligence;
       Whereas Chick Reynolds has demonstrated loyal dedication to 
     the United States Senate as an institution and leaves a 
     legacy of superior and professional service: Now, therefore, 
     be it
       Resolved, That the United States Senate expresses its deep 
     appreciation and gratitude to Chick Reynolds for his years of 
     faithful and exemplary service to his country and to the 
     United States Senate.
       Sec. 2. The Secretary shall transmit a copy of this 
     resolution to Chick Reynolds.

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
