                         THANKING SENATOR KIRK

  Mr. KAUFMAN. Mr. President, before I speak on the issue I came to 
speak about, I have to take a minute to speak about Paul Kirk and Gail 
Kirk and how much they have given this country for many years and what 
a great honor it has been for me to serve in the Senate with Paul. He 
embodies all that is good about this country. He is someone who has 
incredible intellect, judgment, and he is a lot of fun to be around.
  I want to tell you, whatever you do, Paul and Gail, we all send you 
our best.
  Paul has been maybe not a long-term Senator but a great Senator.
  Thank you.
