                  CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR THURMOND

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, since this is the first time I have seen the 
distinguished Senator from South Carolina since it has been official, I 
want to congratulate him, as all Americans do, on the record you have 
set. We are very proud of you. And I want to say that I enjoyed seeing 
you on television when we were home, too.
  It is a magnificent record, and you are a magnificent human being.
  We look forward to commending you further later on this week, Mr. 
President.
  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. Thank you for your kind remarks.
  Mr. LOTT. Thank you, Mr. President.
