                        TRIBUTE TO LYNN TERPSTRA

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, the Democratic Policy Committee's 
assistant editor, Lynn Terpstra, will retire from the Senate next week. 
This marks the end of the long and productive career of a vigilant and 
dedicated congressional staff member.
  Hers is a career that spans 25 years, from 1969 to 1996.
  Lynn Terpstra began her congressional career in July, 1969, on the 
staff of Senator George Aiken of Vermont. Her next Senate assignment 
was on the staff of the Commission on the Operation of the Senate. In 
February 1977, she brought her quick mind and diligent habits to the 
Senate Democratic Policy Committee. Her technical skills and her grasp 
of how to help organize the ever-increasing DPC graphics and 
publications workload made Lynn an invaluable player on the DPC team.
  Lynn Terpstra's keen eye, creative talent and dedicated approach to 
the work of the Senate's Democratic Policy Committee will be missed. 
The DPC is grateful for her contribution to our work, and I want to 
thank Lynn and wish her well in her future endeavors.
  I yield the floor.
