                COMPLIMENTING THE PRESIDENT PRO TEMPORE

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, before I speak on the subject the 
Senator from Arizona spoke on, I would like to compliment the President 
pro tempore for his speech last night. I was in my office. I had a 
chance to listen to your speech, asking us to be cautious in our 
approach to the legislation before this Senate on health care reform.
  I think it was a very commonsense approach. You asked us to take a 
reality check. I hope in the process of our taking that reality check, 
we look back, and when we do something and do it right, we look back at 
your speech as being a key point, where you prevented Congress from 
setting out on a major blunder, as we have the capability of sometimes 
doing.
  So I thank you for what you said yesterday and I think your prestige 
in this body will cause all of us to be a little more cautious as a 
result.
