                        SENATOR MURIEL HUMPHREY

  Mr. WELLSTONE. I want to mention to my colleague from Kentucky that 
tomorrow in Minnesota we are going to have a service for Muriel 
Humphrey--Senator Humphrey. Both Humphreys were Senators. I wish to 
express the appreciation, love and affection all of the people of 
Minnesota feel toward the Humphrey family.
  Much has been written about Muriel Humphrey. I had a chance to get to 
meet her. I did not know her nearly as well as other Minnesotans, but I 
can tell you she was a wonderful person, very caring toward her family, 
very caring toward the great Senator Hubert Humphrey, a really fine 
Senator--the first woman to serve in the Senate from the State of 
Minnesota in her own right--and, I think most important of all, a 
wonderful, wonderful model for public service. It is a great loss for 
Minnesota. It is a great loss for our country. Muriel Humphrey will be 
a very special person to all of us in Minnesota for many years to come. 
We will never forget her.
  I yield the floor.
