                      ABSENCE OF SENATOR MIKULSKI

  Mr. FORD. Mr. President, the distinguished Senator from Maryland [Ms. 
Mikulski] asked me to inform her colleagues that she is necessarily 
absent today because of a special event in the Mikulski family.
  Today, her niece, Val, and her nephew, Jimmy, are receiving their 
college degrees from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.
  In addition, I would like my colleagues to know that Senator Mikulski 
is giving the commencement address at Johns Hopkins as well. She is 
also being honored by the university with an honorary doctorate for her 
outstanding life in public service, her commitment to strengthening 
higher education, and her work on behalf of the university.
  On behalf of all my colleagues, I extend the Senate's congratulations 
to the family on this very happy day. And we know that the Senator and 
her family are very proud of the accomplishments of Val and Jimmy.
