              RETIREMENT OF MR. ANTHONY J. ``TONY'' ZAGAMI

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I rise to announce the retirement of a 
longtime public servant and former staff member of the U.S. Senate. 
After 40 years of Federal service, Anthony J. ``Tony'' Zagami will 
retire as the longest serving general counsel in the history of the 
U.S. Government Printing Office.
  Tony arrived on Capitol Hill just as I was completing my first term 
in the Senate. Before Tony's arrival, I had the privilege of knowing 
and working with his late father, Dino, a member of the Senate's 
Official Reporters of Debates staff. Dino retired in the early 1970s, 
while Tony went on to serve the Congress, moving to the GPO in 1990.
  Over the years, Tony Zagami became a valued and trusted staff member 
of the Congress in many different capacities. His strong skills and 
commitment to public service were well recognized, not just on the Hill 
but also throughout the legislative branch. As he departs the GPO for a 
well-deserved retirement, I thank him for his service and wish him all 
the best.
