                      TRIBUTE TO SENATOR BOB DOLE

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, I would like to join the Senator from 
Mississippi in paying tribute to the Senator from Kansas, the 
distinguished majority leader. All of us who have served in this body 
can tell stories--even those of us who have served a very short period 
of time, such as myself--that reflect the qualities of Bob Dole's 
leadership. Those of us who are partisan Republicans can only hope that 
a majority of American citizens can get to know Bob Dole as well as we 
know him. If they do, then those of us who would like to see Bob Dole 
be President know that the American people would choose wisely in that 
case. We recognize our partisanship in this matter, but I think even 
those who are on the other side of the aisle would acknowledge that the 
majority leader is a man of great character, judgment, and leadership 
skills that, frankly, are greater than most public servants who have 
the opportunity to represent people in this country.
  So I join with my colleague from Mississippi in paying tribute to the 
majority leader, and I wish him well in his future endeavors.
