                        TRIBUTE TO EDWARD BANKS

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, at the end of this month, the Senate will be 
losing one of our most distinguished employees when Edward Banks 
retires.
  Currently the assistant supervisor of the material facility warehouse 
section of the U.S. Senate Service Department, Edward has served the 
Senate with loyalty and dedication for over 36 years.
  When Edward served as a messenger in the 1970's and 1980's, he was 
fondly known throughout the Senate as the ``wagon master''--hailing 
back to the days of the 1800's when documents, materials, and equipment 
were delivered by horse and wagon on the Capitol grounds.
  Edward carried this affectionate title with pride and great 
distinction.
  I know I speak for all the Senate when I thank Edward Banks for his 
3\1/2\ decades of distinguished service, and wish him a happy and 
healthy retirement.
