              CONGRATULATING SENATOR LOTT AND SENATOR BYRD

  Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I join with my colleagues in expressing my 
admiration and respect for the senior Senator from West Virginia, for 
the extraordinary comments he made on behalf of Senator Lott. I was 
equally touched I think by the honest, open response of Senator Lott to 
the emotions that he felt with respect to the birth of his grandson. I 
think we can all sense, at least those of us who have had children, the 
enormous emotional wave of that particular moment.
  So we salute both of those colleagues of ours. I thank Senator Byrd 
for taking the time to share with the Senate those important thoughts.
