                     TRIBUTE TO REVEREND HALVERSON

  Mr. GRAHAM. Mr. President, I would like to extend my very warm 
feelings for the service that Reverend Halverson has extended to me and 
to my colleagues.
  One of the challenges in life is to be able to approach it 
holistically. We tend to focus on that thing for which we have a 
particular responsibility. In our case, our responsibility to represent 
our constituents in the Nation in the U.S. Senate.
  What Reverend Halverson has so appropriately reminded Members is we 
also have broader reins of responsibility--responsibilities of a 
spiritual nature, responsibilities of a human nature, particularly our 
responsibilities within our own families. That constant reminder of our 
broad range of responsibilities has been one of his gifts to me. It 
will be a gift that I will continue to draw strength from.
  I wish the reverend well in his own next stage of life. As I told him 
personally a few moments ago, I hope that he will be able to include 
some of the warmth of our State--not only its climate--in our 
appreciation of his service.
  (The remarks of Mr. Graham pertaining to the introduction of S. 529 
are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills 
and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. DORGAN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Under the previous order, the Senator from North Dakota is recognized 
for not to exceed 15 minutes.
