                         TRIBUTE TO LAURA DOVE

  Mr. SHELBY. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize and honor Laura 
Dove as she retires from serving as Secretary for the Majority of the 
U.S. Senate.
  Laura began her service many years ago as a Senate page. She returned 
as an assistant in the Senate Republican Cloakroom under Republican 
Leader Bob Dole. In her more than 20 years of dedicated service, she 
has worked in various capacities. This includes in the Republican 
Cloakroom, with the Senate Republican Conference, under Republican 
leadership, and in her current

role as Secretary for the Majority. This is quite an honor and an 
accomplishment, as Secretaries for the Majority and the Minority are 
elected officers nominated by the party's leader. During her time in 
the Senate, Laura provided much-needed parliamentary guidance and 
counsel to Senators. She was no stranger to this type of advice, as her 
father served as the Senate Parliamentarian for many years.
  Laura has succeeded in every aspect of her service to the U.S. 
Senate, and I can personally say she will be greatly missed throughout 
the Upper Chamber. I wish her all the best as she transitions to the 
next exciting chapter in her life.
