                    RETIREMENT OF SENATOR KASSEBAUM

  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I likely will not have an opportunity to 
take the floor of the Senate again while the Senator from Kansas is in 
the Chamber. She just finished a discussion on a foreign policy issue, 
but I did want to say while I am in the Chamber and she is in the 
Chamber that this institution is going to miss her service.
  There is a lot of discussion these days about the bickering between 
Republicans and Democrats, and the American people do not like to see 
that; they want to see a Congress that serves the interests of the 
American people. They want to see Democrats and Republicans think 
through ideas and work together to find the right course for our 
future.
  Senator Kassebaum is one of those people in Congress, recognized by 
everyone serving here as an extraordinary Senator who cares a great 
deal about this country and has contributed immensely to this country's 
betterment. I for one have felt privileged to serve with her in the 
Senate while I have been here, and I will miss her.
