                          TRIBUTE TO ALEX BING

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President; I know I speak for all Members of the Senate 
in extending our condolences to the family of Alex Bing, who passed 
away on September 28, 1995.
  At the time of his death, Alex had worked for the Senate for 10 years 
as a valued employee of the Sergeant at Arms' environmental service 
operation.
  In 1992 and 1993 Alex was selected as the environmental services' 
Employee of the Year, in recognition of his outstanding performance and 
attendance record.
  Alex's primary responsibility was the care and maintenance of the 
Minton tile floors located throughout the Senate wing of the Capitol 
Building.
  Alex was a dedicated and loyal employee who took great pride in his 
work. As a result of his dedication, many visitors to the Capitol have 
been provided the opportunity to view this historic building at its 
very best.
  All those who knew Alex knew him as a kind, quiet, and caring person. 
He will be missed by all.
  Mr. President, I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
