                   RECOGNITION OF THE MINORITY LEADER

  The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Democratic leader is recognized.
  Mr. SCHUMER. First, Mr. President, let me add my words of fond 
farewell to the senior Senator of Utah. Back in the good old days, we 
worked on a whole lot of things together, when the place was a little 
less partisan--immigration, patents, and so many other things. He was a 
fine legislator and a fine craftsman. I wish him and his entire large, 
beautiful family the best.
  I also note that Leader McConnell talked about the good bipartisan 
work we have created in the farm bill, something good for his State and 
something he has cared about for a long time. I hope the leader--and I 
will talk more about this later--will use the same bipartisan spirit 
and help us to deal with the appropriations bills that are still 
awaiting our agreement.
