                      NOMINATION OF R.L. BROWNLEE

  Mr. REID. Madam President, present today is Senator Warner, former 
chairman of the Armed Services Committee. Also momentarily will be here 
the present chairman of the Armed Services Committee, Senator Levin. 
They wish to speak in just a short time on the nomination of Mr. 
Brownlee to be Under Secretary of the Army.
  I had the pleasure of working with him during the time Senator Warner 
was chairman and Senator Levin was chairman on the matters of this 
bill. He has been an integral part of moving these armed services 
bills.
  I, as a Democrat, depended on him, he representing the Republican 
leader on the Armed Services Committee. I just can't say enough nice 
things about him. I know Senator Warner and Senator Levin will say more 
at the appropriate time.
