                       TRIBUTE TO MICHAEL B. ENZI

  Ms. CORTEZ MASTO. Mr. President, I want to take a moment to recognize 
and thank the Senator from Wyoming, Mike Enzi. He has served the State 
of Wyoming and our Nation for more than 40 years, first as the Mayor of 
Gillette, then in both chambers of the Wyoming Legislature, and finally 
in the U.S. Senate since 1997. Over the past 4 years, I have had the 
pleasure of serving with Senator Enzi in the Senate, including on the 
Finance Committee for the last 2 years. Together, we introduced the 
1921 Silver Dollar Coin Anniversary Act, to celebrate the anniversary 
of the Peace silver dollar memorializing the end of World War I.
  Senator Enzi has had a long and distinguished tenure in the Senate as 
both the chair and ranking member of the Health, Education, Labor, and 
Pensions Committee and as the chair of the Budget Committee. Across all 
his legislative efforts, Senator Enzi has remained a staunch advocate 
of his ``80 percent tool''--the belief that we can get a lot done when 
we can agree on 80 percent of the issues 80 percent of the time. This 
lesson is one that we all should take to heart as we enter the 117th 
Congress and the future.
  Senator Enzi's legacy and his words of wisdom--do what is right, do 
your best, treat others as they wish to be treated--will continue to 
remind us to work hard and serve our constituents to the best of our 
abilities. I wish him a peaceful retirement fly-fishing on the banks of 
Wyoming's rivers, and I wish his wife Diana and his family all the best 
in the next chapter.
