      TRIBUTE TO SENATOR JOHN WARNER FOR HIS RECYCLING LEADERSHIP

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I rise today to express my sincere 
appreciation to Senator Warner for his unique and untiring dedication 
to increasing recycling in America.
  Each of us has heard from our constituents about the importance of 
recycling and how current law is hindering efforts to improve the 
environment through a viable recycling industry. Through his dedicated 
efforts, Senator Warner has made sure that recycling equity has not 
been overlooked as the Senate addresses the many conflicting and 
contentious environmental issues our Nation faces. In the 103d, 104th 
and 105th Congresses, Senator Warner forced the debate over Superfund 
to recognize how recycling benefits America's environment and economy. 
I look forward to working with the senior Senator from Virginia and my 
Senate colleagues on both sides of the aisle to address the issue of 
recycling equity before the end of this Congress.
  I hope my colleagues will join me in expressing appreciation to 
Senator John Warner for his leadership on this matter. He deserves our 
gratitude for his understanding, dedication and commitment to the cause 
of recycling equity.
