          DEDICATION OF PORTRAIT OF JUDGE DAN M. RUSSELL, JR.

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Judge Dan M. Russell, 
Jr., U.S. Senior District Court Judge for the Southern District of 
Mississippi, on the occasion of national Law Day and Judge Dan M. 
Russell Day in Hancock County, Mississippi. I wish I could be with 
Judge Russell and his family, colleagues and friends today as they 
gather to dedicate a portrait of him which will hang in the Hancock 
County Courthouse in Bay St. Louis, Mississippi. I want to commend 
Judge Russell for his many years of service on the bench and praise him 
for his willingness to continue to serve the Gulf Coast community, the 
state, and the nation as a judge. I can think of no better way to mark 
Law Day than by recognizing Judge Russell's distinguished service in 
the law, and by commemorating this service with the dedication of a 
portrait of him. I have the deepest admiration for Judge Russell, and 
this commemoration indicates the high esteem that his colleagues in the 
Bar have for him as well.
