                        WINTER OLYMPICS IN UTAH

  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, may I be among the first to congratulate 
the people of Utah and, indeed, their Senator, who is here today. I 
shared with him the joy in his heart when I happened to hear him speak 
a few moments ago. Having had the pleasure of visiting his State on a 
number of occasions, it will be a marvelous place to host the world. 
Now, only the weather remains a question. You usually have a very 
constant weather pattern during that period of the year.
  Mr. BENNETT. We do, Mr. President. Winter snows are not unknown in 
Utah. We hope in 2002 they do not desert us.
  The Senator from Virginia is very generous in his remarks. He has 
been to the Senators' Ski Cup and, indeed, has an award named after him 
for his activity there.
  Mr. WARNER. That is true.
  Mr. BENNETT. We hope he not only comes to celebrate with us in 2002, 
but if I may, Mr. President, I hope he comes as a Senator in 2002, 
having been safely reelected between now and then.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I thank my dear colleague. I would only 
say the quality and the quantity of the snow in your State, I think, is 
almost unmatched anywhere in the world, and will be there to greet the 
Olympians.
  Momentarily I will address the Senate with respect to the calendar on 
Monday.
  At this time I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thomas). Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
