S11852 | Congressional Record, Volume 146 Issue 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000) [Congressional Record Volume 146, Number 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000)] [Senate] [Page S11852] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] THANKING THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk on behalf of myself and Senator Daschle and ask for its immediate consideration. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The legislative clerk read as follows: A resolution (S. Res. 388) tendering the thanks of the Senate to the President pro tempore for the courteous, dignified, and impartial manner in which he has presided over the deliberations of the Senate. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution. Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The resolution (S. Res. 388) was agreed to, as follows: S. Res. 388 Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate are hereby tendered to the Honorable Strom Thurmond, President pro tempore of the Senate, for the courteous, dignified, and impartial manner in which he has presided over its deliberations during the second session of the One Hundred Sixth Congress. Mr. LOTT. Let me note, Mr. President, that the distinguished Senator from South Carolina, Senator Strom Thurmond, has been very diligent in his duties over the past 2 years. No matter what hour of the day the Senate came in, Senator Thurmond was in the chair and recognized the Chaplain and called on a Senator to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. On a few occasions, I even suggested a substitute could fill in, but on rare occasions did that ever happen. He has set a tremendous example for all of us in the Senate. He continues the tradition that Senator Byrd of West Virginia also exhibited when he was President pro tempore. So I am sincere when I say we extend our appreciation to Senator Thurmond for his diligence as our President pro tempore. Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader. Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I associate myself with the remarks of the distinguished majority leader. I have admired the distinguished President pro tempore for a lot of reasons. But his diligence in opening the session every day, and his willingness to be as prompt as he always is, is something admired on both sides of the aisle. So for all of his effort, for all of his service, for his willingness to serve as he has, we thank him. I thank the majority leader for yielding. ____________________ |
