                     RECEPTION FOR LANCE ARMSTRONG

  Mr. REID. Madam President, Lance Armstrong is a man who has caught 
the attention of the entire American public and the world because of 
his athletic prowess, but more importantly than that because of his 
fighting back from devastating cancer. He is, of course, the greatest 
cyclist in the world today, and maybe of all time. This all occurred 
after he had a very severe bout of cancer. He is going to be in the 
Capitol building today.
  A reception is going to be held for him in the Dirksen Building 
starting at 11:30. He is going to make some remarks around 12:00. 
Senators interested in meeting one of the greatest athletes of all 
time, or any staff within the sound of my voice, are welcome to come to 
192 Dirksen to see the great Lance Armstrong.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. REID. Madam President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for 
the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
