                         COMMENDING ROHIT KUMAR

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, in addition to David leaving, Rohit Kumar is 
also leaving. I don't know what he did for Senator McConnell, but most 
of the time I didn't like it. But I learned in our conversations, most 
of them in the back room, what a fine man he is and how smart he is. He 
is incredibly intelligent, he is good at his job and, as I have just 
indicated, a little too good sometimes.
  Even though we at times knew what was happening was happening because 
he was behind it, I am really sorry to see him leave the Senate. He is 
a good person. I admire him and have such great respect for him. I wish 
him success and happiness in his next endeavor.
  He has a beautiful young daughter that he boasts about all the time, 
and rightly so. He and his wife Hillary, I am confident, will have a 
very pleasant life outside the Senate, even though we will all miss 
him.
