                             ROBERT J. DOLE

  (Mr. TIAHRT asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TIAHRT. Mr. Speaker, yesterday Senate majority leader Robert J. 
Dole became a private citizen. He left us in Congress a legacy of 
integrity, honesty and character. Character is something that you 
develop when no one is around, as Senator Dole did in his service to 
his country during World War II and the 39 months that followed as he 
struggled to regain his ability to walk. Honesty is something that he 
has provided to the American public even when it was unpopular. 
Integrity is something Senator Dole has undergone with three decades of 
public scrutiny and three presidential campaigns. He has worked hard 
throughout that time to do the right thing.
  Mr. Speaker, we will miss Senator Dole on the Hill, but we will 
welcome him with open arms as he moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
