Mr. President, I send a resolution to the desk on behalf of\nmyself and Senator Daschle and ask for its immediate consideration.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title.\n  The legislative clerk read as follows:\n\n       A resolution (S. Res. 388) tendering the thanks of the\n     Senate to the President pro tempore for the courteous,\n     dignified, and impartial manner in which he has presided over\n     the deliberations of the Senate.\n\n  There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the\nresolution.\n  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the resolution\nbe agreed to and the motion to reconsider be laid upon the table.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.\n  The resolution (S. Res. 388) was agreed to, as follows:\n\n                              S. Res. 388\n\n       Resolved, That the thanks of the Senate are hereby tendered\n     to the Honorable Strom Thurmond, President pro tempore of the\n     Senate, for the courteous, dignified, and impartial manner in\n     which he has presided over its deliberations during the\n     second session of the One Hundred Sixth Congress.\n\n  Mr. LOTT. Let me note, Mr. President, that the distinguished Senator\nfrom South Carolina, Senator Strom Thurmond, has been very diligent in\nhis duties over the past 2 years. No matter what hour of the day the\nSenate came in, Senator Thurmond was in the chair and recognized the\nChaplain and called on a Senator to lead the Pledge of Allegiance. On a\nfew occasions, I even suggested a substitute could fill in, but on rare\noccasions did that ever happen.\n  He has set a tremendous example for all of us in the Senate. He\ncontinues the tradition that Senator Byrd of West Virginia also\nexhibited when he was President pro tempore. So I am sincere when I say\nwe extend our appreciation to Senator Thurmond for his diligence as our\nPresident pro tempore.\n  Mr. DASCHLE addressed the Chair.\n  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader.\n  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, I associate myself with the remarks of\nthe distinguished majority leader.\n  I have admired the distinguished President pro tempore for a lot of\nreasons. But his diligence in opening the session every day, and his\nwillingness to be as prompt as he always is, is something admired on\nboth sides of the aisle.\n  So for all of his effort, for all of his service, for his willingness\nto serve as he has, we thank him.\n  I thank the majority leader for yielding.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2000-12-15-pt1-PgS11852"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.36647310480475426, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
