                        COMMENDING SENATOR HATCH

  Mr. REID. Madam President, I had it in my notes, but I didn't do it.
  I wish to express my appreciation for the majority staff on the 
Finance Committee. The chairman of this powerful Finance Committee is 
Orrin Hatch. We have served together in the Senate for these many 
years. There is not a finer gentleman in the Senate than Orrin Hatch. I 
apologize for reading over my notes. I appreciate very much his 
friendship and his leadership.
  Mr. HATCH. I thank the leader, and I feel the same way toward him. He 
and I are dear friends, and we are going to continue to be dear 
friends, despite our differences.
