                         Remembering Mike Enzi

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I thank my good friend, the senior 
Senator from the great State of Vermont.
  I, too, feel so badly about Senator Enzi's unfortunate passing. We 
received the very sad news this morning that Mike Enzi had passed away 
from injuries sustained on a bicycle accident.
  He was only 7 months into his retirement, after four terms in the 
Senate and decades--decades--of service to his home State of Wyoming.
  We will remember him as we remembered him upon his departure from 
this Chamber, as a kind and gentle man, as a practical legislator, 
someone who sought common ground and was willing to leave strained 
disagreements for another day. He was forceful, he was principled, but 
he was also gentle, a rare and unusual combination and much needed in 
this body.
  He lived by a simple creed, given to him by his mother, that adorned 
his office, and he shared it with his staff: Do what you think is 
right; do your best; and treat others the way they wish to be treated.
  Upon his retirement, those were the values he asked the Senate to 
remember him by. At the news of his unexpected passing, those are the 
values we will carry on in his memory. I offer my condolences to his 
wife Diana and to former Senator Enzi's entire family
