                         THANKING SENATOR BYRD

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Madam President, I came to the floor for a specific 
purpose, but I had the good benefit of listening to the distinguished 
senior Senator from West Virginia's holiday greeting. It was a very 
warm, loving greeting as well. I am glad I made it to the floor to 
listen. I thank him for his incredible service in this institution and 
for taking those moments to talk about our humanity collectively. This 
is a great time of the year in which that humanity gets to be 
recognized.
  Mr. BYRD. Madam President, I thank the incredible Senator who now 
holds the floor and speaks with such aplomb and dignity, befitting a 
Roman Senator.
