                      CONGRATULATING SENATOR ERNST

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I congratulate the new Senator from 
Iowa, not only for her service in America's military for all of these 
years, but also for her service now in the Senate. She is obviously 
bringing to the Senate real expertise about the needs she addressed in 
her first piece of legislation. I expect it will enjoy broad bipartisan 
support, particularly with the sponsor having such firsthand knowledge 
of the needs of these returning veterans.
  So on behalf of all Members of the Senate, I congratulate the Senator 
from Iowa for her new bill and for her first remarks.
