                     TRIBUTE TO SENATOR HANK BROWN

  Mr. EXON. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to Senator Hank 
Brown, the senior Senator from a neighboring State, Colorado, who is 
retiring at the end of this Congress. It seems, out there on the 
plains, we are dropping like flies.
  Hank Brown's service to the State of Colorado and our Nation has 
ranged from the U.S. Navy and a tour in Vietnam, to serving in the 
Colorado State Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the U.S. 
Senate. More importantly, however, I understand that Senator Brown 
played some football while at the University of Colorado. While 
Nebraskans are not usually humble about football, I humbly acknowledge 
that the Nebraska record against Colorado from 1958 to 1961 was 1 win 
and 3 losses.
  As the ranking Democrat on the Senate Budget Committee, I have had 
the privilege of working with Senator Brown on several budget 
initiatives. I believe he and I share a commitment to deficit reduction 
and responsible Federal spending second to none. I appreciate Senator 
Brown's hard work in this area and have enjoyed the opportunity to work 
with him on these most important issues. Hank Brown possesses one of 
the keenest senses of humor in the Senate. He is a delightful 
individual.
  I commend Hank Brown for his hard work in the Senate and his 
contribution to our Nation and the State of Colorado. I wish him 
success in all his future endeavors.
  Mr. BOND addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Gorton). The Senator from Missouri.
