               TRIBUTE TO SENATOR DANIEL PATRICK MOYNIHAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the Speaker's announced policy of 
January 19, 1999, the gentleman from New York (Mr. Weiner) is 
recognized during morning hour debates for 1 minute.
  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, we live in cynical times. We live in times 
when reams of newspaper are printed about our foibles, individual and 
collective; but there is scant recognition of the greatness of our 
country and its great people.
  Today we pay tribute to a truly great man, Liz Moynihan's husband. 
For more than a generation, Senator Moynihan has brought dignity to 
these halls, and during the push and pull of daily political discourse, 
there has been one voice which for more than 40 years has seen around 
the corner into the face of our future challenges.


  Mr. Speaker, this is my first term; and if I serve just this one 
term, or 20 more, I hope to display just one ounce, one thimbleful, of 
the dignity and grace and wisdom of the senior Senator from New York.
  Godspeed, Senator Moynihan.
