                      RECOGNIZING SENATOR CORZINE

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I rise to wish Senator Jon Corzine the 
very best as he leaves his service in the Senate to become the next 
Governor of the State of New Jersey. Although we didn't always agree on 
all the issues, it has been an honor to work with him. He has always 
been courteous and professional and I have enjoyed the opportunity to 
know him.
  Senator Corzine's career has taken him to the uppermost levels in the 
business world. He was a partner at Goldman Sachs at the age of 33 and 
he became CEO of that prestigious firm at the age of 50. As someone who 
has been extraordinarily successful in the private sector, I am sure 
Senator Corzine has had many life opportunities offered to him. The 
fact that he has chosen a career in public service speaks a great deal 
to the type of person that he is.
  Senator Corzine's economic expertise helped him become a leader on 
budget and fiscal issues in the Senate. I had the privilege of serving 
with Senator Corzine as members on the Budget Committee. His knowledge 
and understanding of financial markets and economic issues will be 
missed.
  Jon Corzine has been a good Senator, and I wish him success as he 
leaves here to become Governor of the State of New Jersey.
