                   SENATE PAGES--SPRING CLASS OF 1996

  Mr. DASCHLE. Mr. President, today the Senate bids farewell to a group 
of young men and women who have served as U.S. Senate pages for the 
spring semester.
  These young people have been witnesses to vigorous debates on a 
number of issues of national significance--truly spirited debates. Just 
this past week, they watched as Senate Dole gave his final speech as a 
U.S. Senator.
  We in the Senate appreciate all that they did to serve the needs of 
this body--and those needs were many. The Senate pages serve a very 
valuable and important role in the day-to-day workings of the Senate, 
and we very much thank them for their work.
  As these young people return to their respective communities, it is 
my hope that they will take with them a better understanding of how 
this Government works, and understand the necessity of working together 
to achieve a common goal. Perhaps someday, one or more of them will 
return as Members of the U.S. Senate.
  To the pages, on behalf of myself, the majority leader and all 
Members of the Senate, we wish you well, good luck in the years ahead, 
and we say thank you.
  I ask unanimous consent that a list of the names of the pages of the 
spring class of 1996 be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the list was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:
