              COMMENDING THE MAJORITY AND MINORITY LEADERS

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I want to compliment my colleague, the 
majority leader, for doing an outstanding job, as well as the minority 
leader, Senator Daschle. They have worked very well together this 
session. We had some real trials and tribulations, but I think, 
together, they were an outstanding combination. They were able to pass 
the Nation's important business, such as the budget and historic tax 
relief.
  I think this was a productive Congress. Again, I wish to compliment 
the majority and minority leaders for their effort and leadership.
  Mr. THURMOND addressed the Chair.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina, the President 
pro tempore of the Senate, Mr. Thurmond, is recognized.
