S7020 CONGRESSIONAL RECORD— SENATE May 19, 1995 

After the completion of his second 

Presidential term in 1817, the Madisons 

retired to Montpelier, where their legendary hospitality kept them in touch 

with world affairs. At his death in 1836, 

Madison was buried on the estate. Dolley Madison later returned to Washington where she died in 1849. 

Following Madison’s death, the contents of the house were auctioned off. 

Montpelier then changed hands six 

times, until it was purchased in 1900 by 

William and Anna Rogers duPont. The 

National Trust for Historic Preservation received the property in 1983, and 

opened it for public tours in 1987 as 

part of the celebration of the bicentennial of the U.S. Constitution. Today, 

under the stewardship of the National 

Trust, Montpelier is beginning a longterm research and preservation process. Unfurnished and as yet unrestored, 

Montpelier is the focus of a major archaeological and architectural research effort. 

The legislation which I am introducing today would authorize the U.S. 

Mint to produce a commemorative coin 

to honor the 250th birthday of James 

Madison. After recovery of minting and 

production costs, the proceeds from the 

sale of the James Madison Commemorative Coin, conservatively estimated 

at $5 to $10 million, will be used as the 

core of a capital campaign to establish 

an endowment and preserve Montpelier. This campaign will assure the full 

preservation and restoration of Montpelier and the development of all of the 

related programmatic activities. 

Mr. President, an intensive effort 

must be mounted to achieve the goal of 

securing the future of Montpelier. I am 

committed to making my colleagues in 

the House and Senate aware of the benefits to be derived from the minting of 

a coin to honor James Madison, and I 

am confident that this support can be 

secured. Our national legislature, indeed, our Nation, owes a great debt to 

the vision of James Madison. Throughout his life, Montpelier helped shape 

Madison’s character and values. This 

legislation is an important step toward 

bringing all Americans closer to this 

great man.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS 

THE DEPARTURE OF THE HONORABLE NORA SLATKIN, ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF THE NAVY 

FOR ACQUISITION 

∑ Mr. DODD. Mr. President, I want to 

take a moment to pay tribute to an 

outstanding public servant who will be 

leaving the Department of Defense 

today to continue her contributions to 

the Nation at the Central Intelligence 

Agency. This dedicated and thoughtful 

servant needs no formal introduction 

to those familiar with the complexities 

of our Nation’s defense budget. I am of 

course speaking of Assistant Secretary 

of the Navy for Acquisition, Ms. Nora 

Slatkin. 

In the years preceding her appointment to the Department of the Navy, 

Ms. Slatkin served as a senior staff 

member and adviser to Les Aspin, then 

chairman of the House Armed Services 

Committee. During her tenure with the 

committee, Ms. Slatkin often staffed 

the most difficult of hearings involving 

not only current program acquisition, 

but research and development investments for the future. She is truly one 

of our Nation’s brightest stars in defense policy. 

As Assistant Secretary of the Navy, 

Ms. Slatkin has presided over some of 

the most difficult procurement decisions before the Department in recent 

decades. Her tenure has been marked 

by sound, articulate judgment and 

careful analysis. More importantly, she 

has further strengthened her reputation for honesty, integrity, and fairness—qualities often desired but not always achieved. 

Ms. Slatkin truly deserves our 

thanks for her service to the Nation 

and the Navy. I wish her well and much 

success in her new position at the Central Intelligence Agency.

NATIONAL DEFENSE 

TRANSPORTATION DAY 

∑ Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, today, 

as we celebrate National Defense 

Transportation Day, I rise to recognize 

the important contributions that the 

people who serve in military transportation specialties, as well as those who 

work in the U.S. civil transportation 

industry, have made to the security of 

our Nation. 

As our military increasingly becomes 

a U.S.-based, power projection force, 

our transportation assets become an 

even more crucial element of the national defense. Without possessing the 

ability to rapidly and efficiently move 

our service personnel and their equipment into an overseas theater of operations, all of the money we have spent 

and all of the effort we have put into 

building the strongest armed force in 

the world would be for naught. 

I am sure that we all can vividly recall the Herculean effort our military 

and civilian transporters made during 

Operation Desert Shield in moving 

large numbers of people and massive 

amounts of materiel from two continents into the Persian Gulf region, in 

record time. As our military leaders 

can attest, that transportation capability served as a combat multiplier, 

and played a significant role in our decisive victory. 

Today, the many people involved in 

U.S. defense transportation continue 

the long tradition of excellence in service to the Nation. Whether military or 

civilian; manufacturers or operators; 

air transporters, sea transporters, or 

ground transporters; these Americans 

represent the very best our Nation has 

to offer. I commend them for their hard 

work and their many contributions to 

national security. 

I would also like to take this opportunity to recognize the National Defense Transportation Association 

[NDTA], headquartered in Alexandria, 

VA. Within a membership of over 8,000 

people, configured into 70 chapters 

within the United States and overseas, 

the NDTA has served as a catalyst in 

building the critically important military-private sector partnership for defense transportation. In this, its 51st 

year, NDTA continues to play a vital 

role in keeping the American defense 

transportation capability the best in 

the world.
