       A resolution (S. Res. 312) saluting the service of John L. 
     Doney.
       Whereas, John L. Doney has served the United States Senate

     reliable source of advice to Senators and staff alike;
       Whereas, Mr. Doney's more than 16 years of service have 
     been characterized by infinite patience, unfailing good 
     humor, and a deep sense of respect for this institution; 
     therefore be it Resolved, That the Senate salutes John L. 
     Doney for his career of public service to the United States
