               DEATH OF ANASTASIOS ``TASS'' HATJIKIRIAKOS

  Mr. BINGAMAN. Mr. President, I was deeply sorry to learn this morning 
of the death of a long-time Senate employee and friend, ``Mr. Tass.'' 
An integral part of the Senate Resataurants staff for many years, he 
was a great friend to me and to my office.
  He died on Sunday from injuries received when he was hit by a car in 
Silver Spring. All of us who knew him and appreciated his service to 
the Senate join his family and friends in mourning his loss. He--and 
they--are in our thoughts and prayers.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Wyoming is 
recognized.
  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for up 
to 15 minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
