                 HONORING THE LIFE OF GRENVILLE GARSIDE

  Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, on behalf of myself and Senator 
Bingaman, I come to the floor today to inform the Senate that the 
Committee on Energy and Natural Resources has recently passed a 
resolution honoring the life and service of Grenville Garside. I have 
here a resolution signed by all 22 members of the committee.
  Mr. Garside served as the very first staff director of this committee 
when it was first established in 1977 under Senator Henry ``Scoop'' 
Jackson of Washington. Gren was well respected on both sides of the 
aisle and was renowned for his knowledge of energy and natural 
resources law.
  The committee enjoyed the able leadership of Mr. Garside in those 
early years as its jurisdiction and influence began to take shape. Gren 
was known for his integrity, good judgment, and affable nature.
  So, it is fitting that we take a moment to honor this man, whose 
professional career was so intertwined with this revered institution. 
It is right that we place this resolution in the Record. We are 
grateful for his many years of service. Each member of this committee 
expresses their deepest sympathy to Gren's family and multitude of 
friends.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that a copy of this resolution 
be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:

                          United States Senate

     energy and natural resources law, his integrity, and his good 
     judgment;

     Henry M. Jackson Foundation, a nonprofit public policy 
     foundation dedicated to continuing the unfinished work of the 
     late Senator Henry M. Jackson and perpetuating the legacy of 
     Senator Jackson for the benefit of future generations; and
       Whereas Grenville Garside passed away on September 22, 
     2006: Now, therefore, be it
