                          SENATOR JIM BUNNING

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, the majority leader mentioned the 
baseball career of my colleague from Kentucky, Jim Bunning, and we are 
immensely proud of him in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, not only as a 
great U.S. Senator but also somebody who literally put our State on the 
map during his athletic career.
  I might say to these young pages here, Senator Bunning is not only a 
hall of famer in baseball, he is a hall of famer in life. He has 9 
wonderful children, 35 grandchildren, maybe even some beyond that. So 
it is an extraordinary Kentucky family, and I wish to acknowledge with 
gratitude the observations the majority leader made of my colleague, 
Senator Bunning.
