                   THE TELECOMMUNICATIONS LEGISLATION

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, let me also indicate, as I said yesterday, 
we passed a very important piece of legislation, telecommunications 
legislation. And obviously there were many, many people who deserved to 
be thanked for their effort. Certainly, the chairman of the committee, 
Senator Larry Pressler of South Dakota, and members of his staff, and 
Senator Hollings and members of his staff, and many members of the 
committee. I wanted to make certain I did not forget to thank David 
Wilson on my staff, who has been following this issue almost on a day-
to-day basis for the past several months. I certainly appreciated his 
efforts and his insight into the very delicate issues which were 
involved in the legislation.
  Mr. President, I understand there will be speakers coming to the 
floor. In the meantime, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thomas). The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I know leaders' time was reserved.
