       IN MEMORY OF MURRAY ZWEBEN, FORMER SENATE PARLIAMENTARIAN

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, over the weekend we were saddened to 
learn of the death of Murray Zweben. Murray was chosen by the late 
Floyd Riddick to be his assistant in the Parliamentarian's office in 
1965. He followed ``Doc'' Riddick in that post and became the Senate 
Parliamentarian in 1975. He served in that capacity for 6 years and 
left in 1981. The Senate recognized his exemplary service in 1983 by 
elevating him to parliamentarian emeritus. After he left the Senate, 
Murray worked in private law practice and played as much tennis as his 
schedule would permit. Those of us who knew Murray and his 
extraordinary ability to fly through the New York Times crossword 
puzzle, in ink no less, will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers go out 
to his wife Anne, and his children Suzanne, Lisa, Marc, John, and 
Harry.
