once again, when we think of Senator Warner--I will have more to say 
about him in the days ahead--Senator Kennedy has spoken for all of us 
this morning as he talked about how much we value Senator Warner's

leadership and how much I value his counsel in the Senate.
  Mr. KENNEDY. I thank the Senator.
  Mr. WYDEN. Mr. President, I know we are in morning business. I ask 
unanimous consent to speak on the health care issue for up to 20 
minutes.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
