              TRIBUTE TO TERRY GAINER AND DARYL CHAPPELLE

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, before he leaves the floor, let me offer 
my congratulations to the Sergeant at Arms, Terry Gainer, and also my 
thanks to him for his service to this great institution. We know we 
will miss him but also wish him well in the next chapter of his life.
  Mr. President, I also want to express, as have the majority leader 
and the Republican leader, my best wishes to Daryl Chappelle, as he 
leaves after 40 years of service to the U.S. Senate.
  There are some people you run into each day who sort of make you feel 
better and brighten your day, and Daryl was one of those people.
  I know we get involved in some pretty tough debates around here, and 
people sometimes walk around with a scowl on their face, but it is nice 
when people like Daryl help break that mood and remind us that we are 
lucky to be alive each day and come to work in such a wonderful place 
as the U.S. Senate.
  I wish both Chief Gainer and Daryl well in the next chapter of their 
lives.
