                 WISHING SENATOR KIRK A SPEEDY RECOVERY

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I was saddened to hear that Senator Mark 
Kirk suffered a stroke over the weekend. He had surgery this morning. I 
have followed it as closely as I have been able to. The doctors say he 
will recover, and I am confident that is true. He is young and in very 
good health. I wish him a full and speedy recovery and look forward to 
him returning to his work in the Senate as soon as possible.
