                    IN MEMORY OF HOLLY J. RICHARDSON

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, this week my colleague, the 
senior Senator from South Carolina, had a great loss on his staff with 
the passing of Mrs. Holly J. Richardson, after a battle with cancer. 
She was Senator Thurmond's executive assistant and personal secretary, 
having worked for him for half of his career in this body.
  But Holly also was a part of the entire Senate family from South 
Carolina, being as kind and accommodating to my office in the many 
dealings that we have together as she was to Senator Thurmond. She was 
the most efficient, conscientious person you'll ever want to meet, 
always doing her job with the gracious attitude of the fine southern 
lady she was. We will miss her.
  We extend our deepest sympathies to her husband, Phil, and to her 
children, Anne and Emmett.
