                WELCOME AND CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATORS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, first I wish to extend my welcome and 
congratulations to all of the newly elected Senators. We look forward 
to working with you in a bipartisan way for the best interests of our 
country. I know that we have a few of our retiring Senators here and we 
want to wish them a fond adieu and the very best in the future. Senator 
Johnston there from Louisiana needs to be careful; he might change his 
mind and raise his hand and try to get sworn in again.
  This is a magnificent occasion, and it is an honor to serve as the 
majority leader in this great body and to work with my friend, Senator 
Daschle, from South Dakota.
