                     CONGRATULATIONS TO MARTY PAONE

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I will be very brief. Let me congratulate 
our new Secretary for the minority, Marty Paone, and thank him for 
taking on his new responsibilities.
  As we all have seen in the last hour or so, he fills big shoes. As 
Abby Saffold leaves and as the obvious love and affection and respect 
that Abby has goes with her, we have the confidence in knowing that 
Marty will fill those shoes and do so just as ably in this capacity as 
he has in so many other roles in serving this Senate and our caucus in 
the past. We have the good fortune to rely upon Marty each and every 
day on the Senate floor.
  As a result of a remarkable career, he has now gained the respect and 
the confidence of all of our colleagues in taking on this new 
responsibility.
  So we wish him well as he begins. We look forward to working with him 
in this new capacity, and we know that our caucus and this Senate will 
be served well by all that he will do as he continues to come to work 
so faithfully and in such a dedicated way in the coming months and 
years.
  With that, I yield the floor.
