                 GRATITUDE FOR EXPRESSIONS OF SYMPATHY

  Mr. RIEGLE. Madam President, before beginning the formal presentation 
on this legislation, I want to just make a personal comment to many of 
my colleagues, including my colleague and friend from Delaware, Senator 
Roth.
  This past week, my mother passed away. The onset of the serious 
health problems that took her life came quite quickly. As a result, I 
was not here for most of last week.
  But many colleagues and others connected to the Senate were most 
gracious and kind in sending remarks, well wishes and sympathy in 
various ways. I am just very grateful for that.
  On behalf of my family, I want to thank everyone who has been so kind 
over that period of time. I think anyone who has gone through the death 
of a parent understands what a unique and deeply saddening moment that 
is. And it certainly has been true for me.
  So I again thank everyone involved for their courtesies over this 
period of time.
