                          TRIBUTE TO JAN PAULK

  Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to a very dear 
friend who has spent more time working for the U.S. Senate than I have. 
Jan Paulk has left this body to go on to bigger and better things, and 
Barbara and I want to wish her all the best in her future endeavors.
  Mr. President, there is not a member of this Senate that Jan has not 
helped in one way or another, and I know all my colleagues join me in 
thanking Jan for her service.
  As a fellow Arkansan from Russellville, Jan came to Washington in 
1966 as a staff member to the late Senator J. William Fulbright. In 
1971, she joined the Committee on Foreign Relations and served as a 
professional staff member for 10 years. However, most of my colleagues 
have become better acquainted with her in her most recent post.
  Since 1982, Jan Paulk has served as the director of the Office of 
Interparliamentary Services, guiding and assisting each one of us in 
our official duties both here and abroad as Members of the U.S. Senate. 
Mr. President, the entire Senate will miss Jan Paulk, but I know she 
will move on to other challenges. Mr. President, Jan Paulk will face 
all of these new endeavors with the charm and grace that made her such 
a viable part of the United States Senate.
