                   Recognition of the Minority Leader

  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Democratic leader is recognized.
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I enjoyed hearing my friend and gym 
colleague talking about defense. I agree with him; we need a strong 
defense. I agree with him that deficits are an enemy of getting the 
defense spending that we need. I hope when we consider tax cuts, we 
will hear that same view that we can't go deeply into deficit. I 
appreciate my colleague's great comments.
