Rec. S11852 | Congressional Record, Volume 146 Issue 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000) [Congressional Record Volume 146, Number 155 (Friday, December 15, 2000)] [Senate] [Pages S11852-S11853] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] COMMENDING THE EXEMPLARY LEADERSHIP OF THE DEMOCRATIC LEADER Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk 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. 390) to commend the exemplary leadership of the Democratic Leader. 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. 390) was agreed to, as follows: S. Res. 390 Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate are hereby tendered to the distinguished Democratic Leader, the Senator from South Dakota, the Honorable Thomas A. Daschle, for his exemplary leadership and the cooperative and dedicated manner in which he has performed his leadership responsibilities in the conduct of Senate business during the second session of the 106th Congress. Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I could go on for quite some time about my colleague from South Dakota. He does a magnificent job as the Democratic leader. He is thoughtful. He is accessible. He is tenacious. He is committed. He is courteous. And while, as leaders [[Page S11853]] of our respective parties in the Senate, we sometimes disagree and sometimes even clash publicly--it has been rare--we have a very good working relationship. When the day is done and we have conversations, they are quite often personal and very kind. I appreciate his courtesies. I look forward to working with him in the next Congress. It is going to surely test us in every way, every day, but I hope and pray we will be up to the task. I will certainly try to fulfill that new, challenging role. And I know I can count on my friend and partner to do his part on the other side of the aisle. So I am delighted to be able to offer this resolution of commendation to Senator Daschle. Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader. ____________________ |
