b)
R. Heath presented the following correspondence fran H. M. Evans to the Senate:
"At the last meeting of Senate, held in July, motion
was made by Senators Rieckhoff and Nielsen thanking me
for my service and extending best wishes. The preamble
and the motion both were magnificently generous in
language of praise, clearly requiring some refutation
from me.
The members of Senate then strongly supported the
motion in a manner I shall never forget, with standing
applause to the point I dared not attempt even one word
either of correction or thanks - I was too emotionally
moved.
It has been my privilege to work for Senate over many
years. It is tremendously rewarding to have had such a
tribute of support from so many dedicated and canpetent
colleagues and friends as I leave your service. I
shall always be grateful. Thank you sincerely."
