            REGARDING THE RESOLUTION COMMENDING BRETT FAVRE

  Mr. COCHRAN. Mr. President, yesterday the Senate passed, at my 
request, a resolution commending Brett Favre, from my State, who was 
named earlier this week as the most valuable player in the National 
Football League. Brett, as Senators know, is the quarterback of the 
Green Bay Packers.
  When I introduced the resolution, I did so on my behalf and Trent 
Lott, as a cosponsor. I learned, after adopting the resolution, that 
the two distinguished Senators from Wisconsin wanted their names to be 
added as cosponsors of the resolution. I looked at the Record and it 
does reflect that later in the Record. I wanted to make a point of 
saying that I had not received that information at the time the 
resolution was submitted and passed by the Senate.
  I was going to ask unanimous consent that the distinguished Senators 
Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold be added as cosponsors, but that is 
reflected in the Record. So I am pleased that they joined us in the 
resolution commending and congratulating Brett Favre for the great 
honor that he received.
  (At the request of Mr. Daschle, the following statement was ordered 
to be printed in the Record.)
