                         TRIBUTE TO GARY SISCO

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I had another engagement. I apologize for 
not being here a couple minutes earlier, but I also want to join with 
our colleagues in saluting Gary Sisco as our new Secretary of the 
Senate. We are delighted with his appointment, and we look forward to 
working with him.
  I have had the opportunity to talk to the majority leader on a number 
of occasions about his qualifications, and the great respect and 
admiration that is held for him. I must say, it is with great 
enthusiasm that I welcome him to the Senate, and look forward to 
working with him.
  We will have many opportunities to work together, and I look forward 
to those. I know that all of my colleagues share in our welcome and our 
enthusiasm for him this morning, and our congratulations. I yield the 
floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The absence of a quorum has been suggested. 
The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. GORTON. Mr. President, is the Senate in morning business?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senate is in morning business until 12:30.
