                      SALUTE TO RETIRING SENATORS

  Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I begin by paying my respects to those 
Senators who are departing this body. One of the great privileges for 
me has been to have worked with them. I think each in his own right has 
added considerably to the dimension of the Senate, and particularly one 
Senator, Nancy Kassebaum, I wish to salute her for her many additions. 
I have had the occasion to sit on the Foreign Relations Committee with 
her and to observe her and watch her and see her do her homework. For 
me as a woman this has been a very special experience. So I want to 
particularly salute her and also to thank the departing Senators for 
all of the courtesies they have extended to me and to the State of 
California.
