                       TRIBUTE TO CRAIG M. SOMERS

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
outstanding accomplishments of Craig Somers throughout his 32-year 
career with the U.S. Senate. I, along with my colleagues, congratulate 
Craig on his retirement from the Sergeant At Arms Office.
  His Senate career began in August of 1962, as a part-time employee 
and Senate page. In 1969, he became employed full-time with the 
Printing, Graphics & Direct Mail Department, then known

as the Service Department, where he acquired many varied skills, 
including his initial position as an Addressograph Operator. Craig 
worked his way up to his current position as the Night Supervisor of 
the Lithographics Department.
  All of us in the Senate thank Craig for his tireless efforts with our 
printing needs and processing of our constituent mail. His work has 
helped us keep in touch with those we represent.
  Craig, we congratulate you and wish you well in your retirement.
