                     COMMENDATION OF JILL MAYCUMBER

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I rise to thank Jill Maycumber who is 
departing my staff after nearly 5 years of outstanding service to me, 
to the Senate, and to Kansas.
  Like many Senate staff, Jill began her Senate career as an intern in 
my office. She quickly proved herself and became a key member of my 
staff.
  For a time, Jill served as our receptionist--no doubt about it, the 
toughest job in Washington. But her outstanding people skills and deep 
desire to help Kansans made Jill the right choice to head my regional 
office in southeast Kansas.
  When the massive floods struck the midwest in 1993, Jill Maycumber 
tirelessly crisscrossed the State, inspecting damage, and coordinating 
Federal assistance to flood victims. Hundreds of Kansans who have 
needed a helping hand knew who to call. They have Jill Maycumber to 
thank.
  Earlier this year, Jill returned to Washington to help run my Senate 
office--not an easy task as my colleagues can attest. But most 
importantly, Jill took the extra time to greet thousands of 
constituents, always making sure that their visit to Washington and to 
my office was a special event.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Jill Maycumber for her 
outstanding service to the Senate and to Kansas. Jill can be very proud 
of what she has accomplished--she has truly made a difference.
  I extend my heartfelt thank you and best wishes to Jill in her new 
career.
