                    CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR ROTH

 Mr. BIDEN. Mr. President, I rise to take just a minute of the 
Senate's time to let my colleagues know of an honor that Senator Roth 
received from the Delaware Chapter of the Multiple Sclerosis Society.
  In a gala event last night in Wilmington, Delaware, Senator Roth was 
honored for his achievements as a legislator and for his outstanding 
contributions to Delaware and to the nation. This was the Multiple 
Sclerosis Society's first-ever Dinner of Champions, and it is quite an 
honor for Senator Roth to be one of the first two individuals 
recognized by the organization.
  The other individual recognized last evening was Richard Christopher, 
the President of Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate. He and his company 
have been sponsors of and participants in the Bike-to-the-Bay 
fundraising event. The DuPont Company also received an award for its 
decade-long support of the popular Read-a-thon program. Senator Roth 
was in excellent company last night.
  And, fortunately, he was able to be there and accept the award in 
person. That is, Mr. President, one of the advantages of representing a 
State that is close to Washington. Senator Roth could both vote here in 
the Senate and still get back to Wilmington in time to receive the 
award. I know that was important to him.
  I thank my colleagues for allowing me to take this brief time. And, I 
congratulate Senator Roth on his award.
