                   TRIBUTE TO SENATOR NANCY KASSEBAUM

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, also, I would like to make a couple 
comments about my friend and neighbor, Senator Nancy Kassebaum from 
Kansas. Senator Kassebaum will be leaving the Senate after 18 years of 
outstanding service. Senator Kassebaum is a Senator who is well 
respected by Democrats and Republicans and is the chairman of the Labor 
and Human Resources Committee--I might say, a very productive chairman.
  She has passed a lot of legislation through her leadership. She has 
been able to work in a bipartisan fashion to get things done. She is a 
commonsense fiscal conservative who is willing to take on some of the 
tough issues, who is independent, who is willing to get things done for 
the good of our country, and certainly the good of her State.
  Senator Kassebaum is certainly, in my opinion, one of the most decent 
Senators who has ever served in this body. She will certainly be 
missed. I thank her for her dedication to Kansas, and also to our 
country as well.
