                   RECOGNITION OF THE MAJORITY LEADER

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is recognized.
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, just as a side note, I am happy to see the 
second ranking Member of the Senate presiding. The people of Vermont 
are so fortunate to have the Senator and his wisdom.
  Mr. McCONNELL. If the Senator would yield, I expect he has not done 
that in 30 years.
  Mr. REID. Well, I thought it would be nice to comment on the fact 
that is reserved for more junior Members. It is nice that my friend 
from Vermont would be here.
