                       TRIBUTE TO CHICK REYNOLDS

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, today the Senate lost a very valuable 
member of the family. Chick Reynolds, the Chief Reporter of Debates, 
passed away early this morning.
  Mr. President, Chick's career in stenotype reporting began in 1949 at 
the Department of Defense. He was appointed an official reporter with 
the Senate Official Reporters in 1974 and became its chief reporter in 
1988, where he served with distinction and loyalty.
  As many Members are aware, Chick's career as a stenotype reporter put 
him in the center of the headlines of the day. He reported the McCarthy 
and Hoffa hearings on Capitol Hill, as well as covering the 
administrations of Presidents Kennedy, Johnson, and Nixon. In fact, 
Chick was in Berlin to cover the famous speech by President Kennedy.
  Chick was slated to retire, after 21 distinguished years of service 
in the Senate, on July 7. I know all Members of the Senate join with me 
in extending our sympathies to his wife, Lucille, on her loss. Chick 
will be missed by all who knew him, admired his abilities and knew the 
quality of his work.
