                         MY GRANDDAUGHTER SILVI

  Mr. SPECTER. Before commenting briefly on judges, I have a very brief 
personal note. Yesterday, I spoke about the appropriations bill on 
Labor, Health and Human Services. My 3-year-old granddaughter, Silvi, 
was watching the screen on C-SPAN 2, perhaps one of the few watching. 
She said to her father, my son, Shanin, ``Why doesn't he say hi?''
  I told her I might speak this afternoon and alerted her, although the 
time is somewhat delayed. I do not think it is somewhat inappropriate 
to say hi to my granddaughter, Silvi. I know in the old days, they said 
you couldn't do that. But without objection, I say hi to her.
