                    CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR BRYAN

  Mr. REID. Mr. President,

       How confusing the beams from memory's lamps are;
       One day a bachelor, the next a grandpa.
       What is the secret of the trick?
       How did I get old so quick?
                                                  --by Ogden Nash.

  Mr. President, my friend, Richard Bryan, is a grandfather today for 
the first time. His lovely wife Bonnie and he are extremely excited. 
Their oldest son, who is a cardiologist in Reno, at 5:30 eastern time 
last evening had a baby, their first child, and Senator Bryan's first 
grandchild.
  I can't think of a person I know who is a better role model for a 
child than Senator Bryan. I hope he and Bonnie have all the happiness 
that a grandchild can bring. I know that they will. I hope this 
beautiful boy, Conner Hudson Bryan, will follow in the footsteps of his 
father and enter public service.
