                        SENATOR BYRD'S COMMENTS

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I learned in my absence my colleague from 
West Virginia, Senator Byrd, revealed that I had tied the record for 
service as the Republican leader. I had no idea that was a fact. If 
Senator Byrd says it, I know it is a fact because I know he checked it 
very carefully. I want to thank him for his gracious comments and thank 
all of my colleagues who have tolerated me during that--what is it--10 
years.
