                          Tribute to Mike Enzi

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, over the weekend, our friend the 
distinguished Senator from Wyoming, Mr. Enzi, announced that he 
wouldn't seek reelection. It is no secret that Senator Enzi and I 
approach legislation from two very different standpoints, but I have 
always found him to be thoughtful and decent--qualities that have made 
him a good Senator and a respected voice for the people of Wyoming.
  When Senator Enzi was elected, he was this Chamber's only accountant 
by trade. Perhaps it is destiny, then, that he will end his tenure at 
the top of the Budget Committee. Despite his prominent perch and 
decades in Washington's corridors of power, Senator Enzi still retains 
the accountant's distaste for the flashy. He eschewed the limelight and 
the television cameras--something the two of us have in common. If 
Senator Enzi will forgive me that joke, I would like to wish him and 
his family the best in all his future endeavors--that is, of course, 
after he concludes his final year and a half in Washington as one of 
Wyoming's longest serving Senators.
