                            JACKIE M. CLEGG

  Mr. BENNETT. Madam President, I take the floor to join some of my 
other colleagues on the Banking Committee to express my admiration for 
and thanks to Jackie Clegg, who is serving her last day as Vice 
Chairman of the Export-Import Bank. Jackie Clegg might otherwise be 
known somewhere as Mrs. Chris Dodd. She began her career on the Banking 
Committee, where she met Senator Dodd, as a staffer for my predecessor, 
Jake Garn from Utah. She is a Utah alumna in Washington, of whom we are 
all very proud.
  She has performed expert service as a member of the Banking Committee 
staff and now in her new assignment on the Export-Import Bank. We wish 
her well as she ends her career there.
  I wish to note that Jackie has her priorities straight. One of the 
reasons she is leaving the Export-Import Bank is because she is 
expecting a child. It will be her first. It will also be Senator Dodd's 
first. I wish them both well in their new anticipated careers as 
parents.
  Jackie understands the importance of a family, and her willingness to 
give public service has been greatly appreciated, and her willingness 
now to give a different kind of service that perhaps will have a longer 
lasting impact as she prepares to bear and raise a child will be 
something for which she should be congratulated also.
  I join with the other members of the Banking Committee in saying to 
Jackie as she ends her service with the Export-Import Bank: Well done. 
We are grateful for your service. We are grateful for your leadership. 
We are grateful for the expenditure of your talents on behalf of your 
country.
  I say to her and Chris: Good luck and best wishes as you embark on 
the sea of parenthood. My wife and I have had six children. We now have 
16 grandchildren. And we tell you, Jackie and Chris, it is very much 
worth it.
  I yield the floor and suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Akaka). The clerk will call the roll.
  The bill clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Ms. LANDRIEU. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
