                     TRIBUTE TO RETIRING COLLEAGUES

  Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I will take a few minutes this evening to 
talk about a person who is a colleague in the sense that I have worked 
with him for 25 years in my office in Connecticut. He has recently 
retired. I will also discuss three colleagues here in the U.S. Senate 
who have announced their retirement. As we, hopefully, arrive at the 
closing of this session, I want to take a couple of moments to share my 
thoughts about these three colleagues. I will speak about two other 
colleagues tomorrow or the next day, if I can, so as not to consume too 
much time this evening because colleagues may want to be heard on other 
matters.
