let me mention our colleague Zell Miller. Zell Miller is another person who will be in the history books of this body because of his passion and because of his unique character as well. He is probably best exemplified by one of the books he has written called ``Corps Values,'' obviously a reference to the U.S. Marine Corps, in which he describes how a lot of the values that have animated the course of his career and the values he has held dear throughout the rest of his life came from his training as a marine and from his drill sergeant whom he describes so vividly in the book as having almost literally pounded some very important lessons of life into Zell's head at a very young age--lessons that he took away to apply throughout the rest of his life and which have stood him in very good stead throughout his career. He has represented the people of his State of Georgia with passion and with great capability, not only as Governor but then to come to the Senate.
