                             LARRY HARRISON

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I want to take a few moments to recognize 
the dedication of a gentleman who has long been a part of the Senate. 
Larry Harrison, Senate Chamber attendant, is retiring after over 36 
years of Federal service.
  Larry began his long Government career in the U.S. Army in 1942. 
Those who have been around the Hill for a while may have known him in 
various capacities as he worked for the Architect of the Capitol and in 
the Senate's Environmental Services operation.
  As a Chamber attendant for the past 10 years, Larry frequently was 
here before we arrived and remained after we left, opening the Chamber 
in the morning and locking it again after the day's business was 
completed. He has greeted us each day with a smile and a friendly word. 
We will all miss Larry around here.
  Larry's retirement will allow him to do something that makes us all a 
bit envious--and I'm not talking about playing golf, though I'm sure 
he'll be doing plenty of that, too. He will be spending more time with 
his wife, Jean, and sons, Michael Henry, Albert Philips, and Kevin 
Harrison.
  I want to express my personal appreciation to Larry and his family, 
and I'm certain my colleagues share my sentiments. Our best thoughts 
and wishes are with him.
