                         TRIBUTE TO LAURA DOVE

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Madam President, I come to the floor for two reasons. I 
am first going to recognize the good work that the Secretary for the 
Majority, Laura Dove, has done for the entire U.S. Senate, particularly 
for the majority but mostly for the smooth running of the Senate.
  Before I speak on another issue, I want to associate myself with the 
great comments that Leader McConnell made this morning about the work 
of the Secretary for the Majority, Laura Dove. Laura's work in the U.S. 
Senate has been tremendous, with over 20 years of service. Few know 
Senate procedures as well as Laura Dove. She keeps the Senate firing on 
all cylinders, working for the American people.
  I am a Senator who hasn't missed a vote in almost 27 years. Laura 
Dove and the Republican cloakroom, partnering with her and with me in 
my commitment to not miss a vote--they ensure that I am here when I am 
needed for those votes. I thank Laura for helping me serve the people 
of Iowa effectively.
  I wish Laura all the best in her next chapter. There is no doubt that 
we will miss her sharp intellect and warm smile here in the Senate 
Chamber.
