                          LONGEST TERM RECORD

  Mrs. KASSEBAUM. Mr. President, I would just like to acknowledge that 
today breaks the record for the longest term ever held by a Republican 
leader of the Senate. Senator Dole, as the majority leader, has broken 
the record that is more than just showing up every day. Perhaps Senator 
Dole is the Cal Ripken of the Senate. But I would just like to express 
the appreciation of all of us for the dedicated leadership he has 
brought, the thoughtfulness and patience that it takes, and as a matter 
of fact his sheer grit.
  I yield the floor.
  Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, two records in 2 days. What do you say 
we give him a hand.
  [Applause, Senators rising.]
