                           SENATOR MARK KIRK

  Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, I join my colleague from Illinois in 
expressing our concerns about the junior Senator from Illinois, Senator 
Kirk, who, unfortunately, suffered a medical incident, has had surgery, 
and is now recovering in Chicago. We know once again we are reminded 
that life is short and it is fragile. It could happen to any one of us 
or our families or anyone we care about and love. I know all of us 
extend our sympathy and our well wishes to Senator Kirk as he begins 
his convalescence and recovery from this surgery and this medical 
incident that he has experienced.
