   COMPLIMENTING THE MAJORITY LEADER FOR HIS REMARKS AT THE MEMORIAL 
               CEREMONY FOR J.J. CHESTNUT AND JOHN GIBSON

  Mr. KYL. Mr. President, as long as the majority leader is still on 
the floor, let me repeat what I told him a couple days ago. The remarks 
he made on the occasion of the public ceremony in the Rotunda for the 
two fallen Capitol Police officers, I thought, were extraordinary, 
right on the mark, and I very much appreciate his representation of the 
Senate at that occasion. This Nation has now spent 1 week thinking very 
carefully about what the meaning of the events of just a week ago 
are. I think that his remarks and the remarks of other speakers on that 
occasion certainly help to bring proper perspective to those events for 
all Americans as well as those of us here in the Congress.
