                         NATIVE AMERICAN MUSEUM

  Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I congratulate the leader for his 
statement about the opening of the Native American Museum today, and 
also for his

recitation of the historic and incredible times in terms of the history 
of the United States and the Dakota tribes. It was enormously 
interesting.
  As we all know, this issue in terms of Native American land and 
rights is something that is incredibly close to the heart of my friend, 
the Senator from South Dakota. I thank him for this statement this 
morning, particularly on this day of celebration for so many Native 
Americans. It was an extraordinary statement and comment about our 
history. All of us would be better citizens if we took to heart the 
history of our country and its history in regard to Native Americans. I 
thank him for his comments.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to be reminded when I have 
only 1 minute left out of the time left to me.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
