                     COMPLIMENTING SENATOR THURMOND

  Mr. DOLE. Mr. President, I certainly want to compliment the 
distinguished Senator from South Carolina, Senator Thurmond, for his 
dogged determination. The bill went to the White House once. It was 
vetoed. It came back. As everybody knows Senator Thurmond, he did not 
give up, and tonight the bill passed with a wide margin, primarily 
because of Senator Thurmond's persistence and insistence and his 
willingness to make some changes that satisfied Members on the other 
side and the President.

  I think it was an outstanding job. I congratulate the Senator because 
I think he has the assurance it will be signed by the White House.
