           COMPLIMENTING SENATORS RICK SANTORUM AND BOB SMITH

  Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I wish to compliment my colleague from 
Pennsylvania, Senator Santorum, for his leadership in trying to 
override the President's veto of the partial-birth abortion ban; also, 
Senator Bob Smith from New Hampshire. Both of those individuals put a 
lot of energy, a lot of their heart, in an effort to overturn a very 
cruel practice which, unfortunately, continues today because of the 
President's veto.
  Mr. President, I yield the floor.
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in 
morning business.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I ask the Senator, how long do you intend to speak?
  Mr. BAUCUS. Very, very short, I say to my friend from New Mexico--4 
or 5 minutes.
  Mr. DOMENICI. I thank the Senator very much.
