                    TRIBUTE TO SENATOR PAT MOYNIHAN

  Mr. MURKOWSKI. Mr. President, I listened with great attention to my 
friend, Senator Dodd, who I think expresses the feelings that we all 
have for Senator Moynihan. I first met Senator Moynihan before I came 
to the Senate. He visited Alaska, my home. Nobody could suggest that he 
is anything but awe-inspiring, enthusiastic, and interested, the type 
who leaves one after a short meeting with the feeling that here indeed 
is an extraordinary individual, a true statesman, a visionary. And the 
type of individual who we have all had an opportunity to share and 
enjoy and love during his tenure here.
  I extend my heartiest best wishes to Senator Moynihan and his family 
as he departs this body, and it is with fondness for the contributions 
he has made. He has made this a much better body because of his 
contributions. I share the sentiments of my colleague from Connecticut.
