                      ABSENCE OF SENATOR MIKULSKI

  Mr. SARBANES. Mr. President, as many of my colleagues know, our 
colleague, Senator Barbara Mikulski, was robbed Sunday evening in front 
of her home in Fells Point in Baltimore. She was knocked to the ground 
in the course of this robbery and injured her hand. We expect she will 
be back tomorrow, and she asked that I share with our colleagues this 
statement of hers:

       I regret that I will be necessarily absent today, as I 
     recuperate from Sunday's unfortunate experience. While I 
     share the pain and anger of other victims of this type of 
     crime, I have been heartened by the many good wishes I 
     received from my friends and colleagues. I look forward to 
     returning to duty tomorrow.

  I know my colleagues look forward to having her return to duty 
tomorrow, and I know they join me in wishing Senator Mikulski a very 
speedy recovery.
  I thank the Chair and yield the floor.
