                  RECOGNITION OF MARY LOUISE SINCLAIR

  Mr. SPECTER. Mr. President, I have sought recognition to honor a 
special member of my staff who is retiring from government service at 
the end of the 105th Congress.
  Mary Louise Sinclair has served with loyalty and with distinction in 
the United States Senate family for nearly 36 years. During the course 
of her service in the Senate, Mary Louise has worked for some notable 
members of this body. She has worked for Senator Everett Dirksen as a 
secretary from 1962 to 1970. She then joined the staff of Senator 
Robert Taft as the office manager and secretary, where she stayed for 
his full term until 1977. My fellow Pennsylvanian, the late Senator 
John Heinz, was also privileged to have Mary Louise on his staff as a 
special assistant for a remarkable 13 years from 1978 to 1992, and 
since 1993, Mary Louise has served with distinction as my Executive 
Secretary.
  Through her dedication and diligence, Mary Louise has enabled me to 
maximize my efficiency to ensure that I am in the best position to 
represent Pennsylvania. For that, my staff, my constituents, my family 
and I are very grateful.
  I applaud her service and offer her, on behalf of my Senate 
colleagues, our goodwill and best wishes upon her retirement.
