                    THE ALAN GREENSPAN CONFIRMATION

  Mrs. HUTCHISON. Mr. President, I extend my congratulations to Alan 
Greenspan. I think the Senate has done exactly what it should have 
done, which is overwhelmingly approve the nomination of the Chairman of 
the Federal Reserve Board. He has been in that position for 13 years 
and has guided our country on a very even keel while going through an 
economy that could have been volatile but because of his leadership has 
not been. I look forward to continuing this long string of prosperity 
in the economy we have been able to have under the leadership of 
Chairman Greenspan.
