                  CONGRATULATING MAJORITY LEADER LOTT

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I want to take a very brief moment to 
congratulate my friend and colleague from Mississippi, Senator Lott, on 
being selected as the majority leader of the Senate. I have had the 
opportunity to work with Trent Lott in the Armed Services Committee. I 
have great respect for him, and friendship, and I look forward to 
working with him, trying to carry forward the country's business in 
whatever way we possibly can. So I congratulate him and congratulate 
his family. It is a great honor for him to be selected and I wish him 
the very best in his new responsibilities.
