               TED KENNEDY'S HISTORIC MILESTONE IN SENATE

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, this is an interesting, important, and 
somewhat historic day. This is the day when Senator Kennedy actually 
becomes the third most senior Member in the Senate's history, and I 
think it ought to be noted. He just surpassed the time of seniority by 
the distinguished Senator from Arizona, Carl Hayden. So he now ranks as 
the third most senior person in all of Senate history. I commend and 
congratulate him, and I know I join colleagues on both sides of the 
aisle in calling attention to this remarkable new addition to his 
already impressive and extensive resume.
