                          SENATOR KENT CONRAD

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, Senator Conrad, because of his tenure of 
service, had the choice to take a number of different committees. He 
decided to stay as chairman of the Budget Committee. When I talked to 
him this morning, I said: I am elated. He is really a wizard with 
numbers. As a young man, he was academically extremely talented. And as 
a person who has experience in the Senate, no one knows numbers better 
than he does. We are fortunate as a country that Kent Conrad is going 
to remain as chairman of the Budget Committee.
