                        Tribute to Brian Forest

  Mr. President, on an entirely different matter, I would like to say a 
few words today about Brian Forest, a key member of my legislative 
office team, who is leaving the Senate after several years of 
outstanding work in the Senate.
  Throughout his time in my office, Brian has been an invaluable asset, 
taking on the daily challenges and countless responsibilities which 
come with the territory for my staff, but Brian did not just handle it 
all--he excelled. Regardless of the pressures, the deadlines, or the 
obstacles--and, believe me, there were many--Brian always came through.
  Now, regretfully, he has decided to take on a whole new set of 
challenges. I am confident he will continue to show the same skill, 
friendship, and good humor that endeared him to many in the Senate 
because that is who Brian is.
  I know I speak for all of those on my staff when I say I am really 
sorry to see him go. I wish Brian well in his new adventures, and I 
thank him for his service to our Nation, to the Senate, and to me.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.
  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that I be 
recognized as in morning business for such time as I shall consume.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
