                 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE KENNEDY FAMILY

  Mr. COATS. Mr. President, I want to take a moment here to 
congratulate the Senator from Massachusetts for winning a major sailing 
race this past weekend, and he did not hire a professional crew. He 
used his sister and son and family and came in first, which is no small 
feat. The Senator deserves our congratulations for that, and hopefully 
we can get off to a good debate this morning on vouchers with the 
Senator feeling so good about winning that race.
  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, if the Senator will yield, I thank the 
Senator very much for his kind comments, once in awhile, it's nice to 
win something around here.
  I thank the Senator for his comments.
  Mr. COATS. It was clearly a family affair, Mr. President, and 
congratulations to the entire Kennedy family for that.
