                         JOHN ``PEDIE'' MORTON

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I join the majority leader in 
commending Mr. Morton for his extraordinary service in the Senate. Not 
only does he love the Redskins, he loves to fish, too--two passions I 
share with him. I expect he will have more time for both in the coming 
years. I join with my good friend, the majority leader, in thanking him 
for his remarkable career in the Senate and for helping us in so many 
ways over the years.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I say to my distinguished colleague, the 
Republican leader, I don't know how anyone could care more for athletic 
teams than he does for those in Kentucky. I am not sure he has a lot of 
time to share any of his affection for teams other than those in 
Kentucky because they are a passion of the distinguished Republican 
leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. I thank my friend, the majority leader.
