                   GORDON B. HINCKLEY'S 90TH BIRTHDAY

 Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to encourage my 
colleagues to join me in congratulating Mr. Gordon Hinckley, who 
celebrated his 90th birthday on June 23, 2000. Mr. Hinckley is a 
remarkable individual. He has witnessed and been involved in many of 
the events that have shaped our nation into the greatest the world has 
ever known. The longevity of his life has meant much more, however, to 
the many relatives and friends whose lives he has touched over the last 
90 years.
  Mr. Hinckley's celebration of 90 years of life is a testament to 
America. His achievements are significant and deserve to be recognized. 
I would like to join his many friends, relatives, and colleagues in 
wishing him health and happiness, including rich and fulfilling 
friendships, in the future. I salute him.
