                          WELCOME, COLLEAGUES

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, first and foremost, I welcome our colleagues 
back to the Senate from what I hope has been a restful and a beneficial 
period of time. I think it has been very good for the Senators to be 
able to spend some time with their families, be able to perhaps read a 
book, to work with their constituencies, and in many cases look into 
very important foreign policy and international issues. I know this has 
been a very good time for our colleagues to do some things that were 
long overdue, and I hope they enjoyed and benefited from it.
