                 A SALUTE TO LYTTLETON MACON YATES, SR.

 Mr. ROBB. Mr. President, I rise today to salute a member of 
our Senate family, and a fellow Virginian, Lyttleton Macon Yates, Sr.
  Lyt Yates--of the Sergeant at Arms, Printing Graphics and Direct Mail 
Branch--will retire on July 25, 1999 after twenty-seven years of loyal 
service to the United States Senate. He started his career on May l5, 
1972 as a Computer Operator with the Sergeant at Arms Computer Center, 
and has worked his way up the ladder to his current position as 
Supervisor. As a valuable member of the Computer Center team, he was 
instrumental in assisting with the creation of payroll forms, 
letterhead and other Senate forms still in use today.
  Over the years, Lyt has enjoyed working with Senate staff--assisting 
with countless individual requests, solving problems, and seeing the 
job through to completion.
  He is looking forward to retirement with his wife, Joanna, in 
Midland, Virginia. His future plans include, traveling, wood carving 
and spending time with his eight grandchildren.
  On behalf of his Senate family, I thank Lyt Yates for nearly three 
decades of outstanding and dedicated service to the United States 
Senate--and I wish him well in the years ahead.
