                        CORRECTION OF THE RECORD

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I wish to make a couple of corrections in 
the Record of Friday, June 19.
  In the middle column on page S. 6661, where I quote Tennyson, the 
Record indicates that I quoted Tennyson as saying, ``I am a part of all 
that I have met, and we are all a part of each other.''
  Mr. President, only the first clause is an accurate quote by 
Tennyson. The second clause was an editorial comment of my own. It 
should not be included in Tennyson's quote. So I ask unanimous consent 
that in the permanent Record Tennyson's quote as quoted by me read, ``I 
am a part of all that I have met,'' and take out the quotation mark at 
the end of the sentence which appears in the Record in the middle 
column.
  The next correction I should like to make is in the same speech, the 
same page, S. 6661, middle column. I am quoted as saying, ``The Bible 
says, `see us now a man diligent in his business; he shall stand before 
kings.' ''
  That is a misquote. I did not say, ``See us now.'' I said, ``Seest 
thou.'' ``Seest thou a man diligent in his business; he shall stand 
before kings.''
  I ask unanimous consent that that correction be made in the permanent 
Record. Sometimes in talking I sound like I have my mouth full of 
turnips, and I am sure it is hard for the Official Reporters to catch 
the diction correctly. So I ask that those corrections be made.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  Mr. WARNER addressed the Chair.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Virginia.
  Mr. WARNER. Mr. President, those of us who had the real privilege to 
be in the Chamber during Friday had the benefit of an absolutely 
magnificent set of remarks by our distinguished colleague, the senior 
Senator from West Virginia, the former majority leader of the Senate. I 
reflected over the course of the weekend on those remarks. I urge 
others to take a look at the Record today which, with these minor 
corrections, clearly sets forth those remarks. I thank the Senator.
