                        CURTIS BALDWIN MEMORIAL

  Mr. COVERDELL. Mr. President, on behalf of Majority Leader Dole and 
myself, I would like to address the Senate on the death of Curtis 
Baldwin. I wish to take a moment to recognize a Senate staffer who made 
a meaningful contribution both to the Senate and his community.
  Curtis Baldwin unexpectedly passed away this week at the young age of 
36. He was born in Richland, GA, and graduated from Clark College in 
Atlanta.
  For the past 7 years, Curtis was a Sergeant at Arms employee who was 
well known among his coworkers and the Senate staff as a goodhearted, 
dedicated, and loyal individual. Curtis will always be remembered as 
having a positive effect on people with his joyful disposition and 
contagious laugh.
  In addition, he was an active and faithful member of the Congress 
Heights Methodist Church in Washington, DC, where he was a youth 
minister, a member of the board of trustees, and an assistant 
treasurer. Curtis found deep fulfillment in being a member of both the 
T.J. Horne Ensemble and the church choir. He celebrated life each day 
by being close to the Lord and his family.
  Curtis will always be remembered in the hearts of those who knew him.
  Mr. President, I thank you and I yield the floor.
  Mr. SIMON addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Illinois.
