                      PRAISE FOR BUDGET MANAGEMENT

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, allow me to express my appreciation to Mr. 
Domenici and Mr. Conrad for the excellent way in which they handled the 
concurrent resolution on the budget. They were fair, they were 
considerate, and they were very skillful in their performance. I also 
thank our two leaders, Mr. Lott and Mr. Daschle, for the excellent 
guidance they gave through their respective caucuses. I also thank my 
friend, the senior Senator from Alaska, who is presiding over the 
Senate, for his friendship and for his excellent leadership on the 
Senate Appropriations Committee. I wish him and his lovely wife and 
family, especially for Lily, a happy Easter holiday.
