                          AIDAN MICHAEL CRAIG

  Mr. CRAIG. Mr. President, at the end of the day, we are going to be 
adjourning for the Easter recess, or at least that is what is 
anticipated at this time. This Easter recess is going to be a special 
time for me because I am going home to Idaho to see a new grandbaby I 
have not yet seen, except by pictures that have been transmitted 
through the Internet.
  His grandmother has already been out there to hold him in her arms. 
Both Suzanne and I are extremely excited that our son Mike and his wife 
Stephanie have provided us with a beautiful new grandbaby called Aidan 
Michael Craig.
  We have already enjoyed the excitement of grandmother and 
grandfatherhood, and now we have one more extension of that. This 
coming week, I am going to have that unique privilege that only comes 
with being a grandparent; that is, to hold that grandbaby in your arms. 
This Easter recess is a special time for me. I wanted to share with all 
of my colleagues in the Senate that it will be a joyous time for both 
me and my wife Suzanne.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, I yield myself such time as I may 
consume off the time allotted to this side of the aisle. We have 44 
minutes remaining; is that right?
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator is correct. The Senator from Iowa 
is recognized.
