                           THANKING SENATORS

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, first, I thank my colleague, Senator Byrd, 
for his kind comments and my colleague, Senator Thurmond, from South 
Carolina. It has been an honor to serve as the Republican leader and an 
honor to serve with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle over the 
years.
  I certainly enjoyed my service in the Senate, and I think most every 
day I have enjoyed being leader. Some days it is in doubt. But it is a 
great honor and a great responsibility that I am proud to try to carry.
  I thank my colleagues on both sides for their continued cooperation.
