                         THE REPUBLICAN LEADER

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, before the distinguished Senator departs 
the floor, I would like to say how much I personally appreciate his 
remarks regarding the Republican leader, Mr. Dole. I was with Mr. Dole 
throughout the meeting of 2\1/2\ hours yesterday, along with the 
Speaker, Mr. Gingrich, Senator Domenici, House Budget Chairman Kasich, 
House Majority Leader Dick Armey, and others. In my judgment, he has 
been a pillar of strength throughout.
  I also extend my remarks to the distinguished Democrat leader who has 
worked with Senator Dole here in the last 48 hours, and many Members on 
both sides.
  I think the Senate should stand with great pride as to how it has met 
this tragic shutdown in the Federal Government and the ripple effect 
throughout the private sector, so that it just is not the Government 
employees.
  I will also address other matters from my constituents here 
momentarily. But I wish to thank the Senator from Nevada for his 
remarks about our distinguished leader.
