                          Tribute to Mike Enzi

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, before I begin, I want to take a moment to 
say how sorry I am that the Senate will be losing Senator Mike Enzi at 
the end of next year.
  During his 20-plus years in the Senate, Mike has been a leader on so 
many issues, including healthcare and the budget. As the chairman of 
the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee, he oversaw major 
pension reform. As the chairman of the Budget Committee, he was an 
indispensable part of the effort to comprehensibly reform our Nation's 
outdated Tax Code and put more money in the American people's pockets. 
As always, he has been a powerful voice for small businesses during 
that process, not to mention a powerful voice for the West throughout 
his entire career.
  The Senate will be a lesser place without Mike Enzi, but he has 
earned some more time with his wife Diana, their three children, and 
his four grandchildren.
  I am grateful to have served with Mike and grateful that Senators 
will

have a little time before his well-deserved retirement to continue to 
draw on his wisdom and expertise over the course of the next year and a 
half.
