                     RETIREMENT OF CAROLE STEVENSON

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, I would like to say a few words about a 
dedicated Senate employee, Carole Stevenson, who is retiring after 30 
years of Federal service. Carole worked for me when I served as 
chairman of the Rules Committee. She currently works on the staff of 
our colleague, Tim Johnson.
  Carole held a number of jobs as she went about acquiring her 30 years 
of service. She worked for Senators Capehart and Kefauver in the 
fifties, the Architect of the Capitol and the executive branch in the 
sixties, and the Office of Technology Assessment in the mid-seventies. 
She even took off a decade to have and raise a family.
  Carole joined the staff of the Senate Rules Committee in 1977 and 
stayed for 20 years. She held a variety of jobs, moving from front 
office receptionist, to room reservationist, to secretary and staff 
assistant in the Technical Services section of the Rules Committee.
  To put it simply, Carole was a hard worker who took pride in her 
work. She always wanted to do a good job for her employer, and she did. 
She loves the Senate, so she did her best.
  I want to personally thank Carole for her service to the Senate. Her 
many friends in this great institution will miss her. All of us wish 
her well in her retirement.
