                      COMMENDING SENATOR LANDRIEU

  Mr. THURMOND. Mr. President, I wish to commend the able Senator from 
Louisiana, Mary Landrieu, for the excellent manner in which she 
rendered on this day, February 23, 1998, George Washington's Farewell 
Address to the people of the United States.
  Incidentally, Washington did not publicly deliver this address. It is 
dated September 17, 1796, and it first appeared 4 days later in the 
Philadelphia Daily American Advertiser and then in papers around the 
country.
