                       SENATOR DOLE'S LEADERSHIP

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I again wish to thank the distinguished 
majority leader for his leadership throughout this situation. I find a 
ray of encouragement here that Federal workers can return to work with 
pay.

  I want to state for the record that the majority leader has stood 
steadfast on seeing that Federal workers who have been furloughed, and 
otherwise their pay stopped, will receive this pay.
  It is an obligation of the United States of America and all citizens 
to see that those who have contracted with our Federal Government to be 
gainfully employed be compensated because they are in no way--
absolutely no way--at fault on this situation.
