                   SIMPSONS' 60TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY

  Mr. BARRASSO. Madam President, on Saturday, June 21, 2014, Senator 
Alan Simpson and his wife Ann will celebrate their 60th wedding 
anniversary. I invite all of my colleagues to join me in wishing them 
heartfelt congratulations.
  Their children Bill, Colin, and Sue, sent an announcement honoring 
this milestone saying their parents are ``celebrating 60 years of love, 
commitment and compromise.'' Those of us who have known and worked with 
Al and Ann Simpson have seen this spirit of love and devotion in every 
aspect of their lives.
  For six decades, Wyoming has been fortunate to learn from Al and Ann. 
Though they met much earlier, the couple first began dating while they 
were students at the University of Wyoming. Over 60 years later, they 
are a true power couple. Each complements the other in every way--they 
are resilient, compassionate, and know the value of compromise. This 
special relationship has evolved into a lifelong partnership that 
serves as a model for all of us to follow.
  My wife Bobbi and I look forward to celebrating this outstanding 
milestone with Al and Ann when we see them in Cody on July 4th. We will 
tell them what an inspiration they have been, not only to us, but to 
people all across the State. And, we will thank them for their service 
to Wyoming and our great Nation.
