                   WELL WISHES TO CARDINAL BERNARDIN

  Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN. At the outset, Mr. President, I would like to call 
to the attention of my colleagues and call for the prayers of the 
American people in behalf of his eminence, Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. 
It has been recently diagnosed that Cardinal Bernardin is suffering 
from a form of cancer that is very difficult to overcome, and certainly 
we are all saddened by his condition and the physical pain that he must 
be undergoing presently but at the same time confident that secure in 
his faith he will find comfort at this time in the prayers and the well 
wishes from the millions of people in this country who love him dearly.
  Cardinal Bernardin has been the leader of the archdiocese of Chicago 
for over a decade now and is an integral part of the community and 
Illinois and, indeed, of the church community throughout this Nation. 
We all wish him the very best. We wish his health returns to him. But 
in the event that it might not, we wish him the strength of his faith 
and the prayers of people who care about him and the leadership he has 
provided in regard to matters of faith for our country.
