                     RETIREMENT OF MARIE E. MULLIS

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, as chairman of the Select Committee on 
Ethics, it is my privilege to give public notice and honorable mention 
to the outstanding service that Marie Mullis has provided the committee 
and the Senate for the past 31 years.
  Marie began her Senate career in 1971 as an employee of the 
predecessor to the Select Committee on Ethics. In 1977 she joined the 
staff of the Ethics Committee where she advanced from support staff, to 
executive assistant, to professional staff member. As a professional 
staff member for the past 14 years she has drawn from a reserve of 
institutional knowledge, experience, and wisdom to advise Senate staff 
about the Senate Code of Official Conduct. The committee commends her 
commitment to its work and is honored to have been the beneficiary of 
her loyal service over the years.
  Despite the impact of her resignation, we--the committee members and 
committee staff who regard her highly--are pleased to see Marie move 
forward into retirement and receive reward for her faithful service to 
the United States Senate.
  Thank you, Marie, for your hard work.
