                       TRIBUTE TO CHICK REYNOLDS

  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I rise to pay tribute to Chick Reynolds, the 
former Chief Reporter of Debates for the Senate. As my colleagues know, 
Chick passed away earlier this month. He will be sorely missed by each 
and every one of us.
  The Reporter of Debates is one of those unheralded jobs without which 
this institution could not run. The Reporter is the bridge between the 
Senator and his constituents and between this institution and history. 
By faithfully transcribing the proceedings of the Senate, the Recorder 
ensures that ordinary Americans can follow the work of their elected 
representatives and that historians will have an accurate record of the 
great debates of our time.
  Chick Reynolds was considered one of the fastest and most accurate 
reporters in the United States. As a result, he recorded many of the 
most momentous political events of the latter half of the twentieth 
century, including the McCarthy and Jimmy Hoffa hearings and President 
Kennedy's famous speech in Berlin.
  In 1974, Chick Reynolds was appointed an official reporter for the 
Senate, and he went on to become chief reporter in 1988. He served in 
that job with distinction, and he was scheduled to retire, in fact, 
next month.
  I join my colleagues in extending my sympathies to Chick's wife, 
Lucille, on her loss.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, parliamentary inquiry: What is the order of 
business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The regular order is that the regulatory 
reform bill will be laid down.
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I might 
proceed as if in morning business for no more than 2 minutes for the 
purpose of introducing a bill.
  Mr. GLENN. Mr. President, reserving the right to object, I will not 
object; may I ask, is it going to be a couple of minutes? That will be 
fine. I know Senator John Kerry has some remarks he would like to make. 
We will put the bill in and yield to him for some remarks, if that is 
OK. And then we will go on with remarks on the bill.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection?
  Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BURNS. I thank my friend from Ohio.
  THE PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Montana is recognized.
  Mr. BURNS. I thank the Chair.
