                         Tribute to John Cornyn

  Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, I have a message to deliver this morning, 
but after sitting here and listening through and enjoying the comments 
that were made, I wanted to at least make one comment about the Senator 
from Texas.
  In my real life, for a number of years, I was a builder and developer 
in South Texas. I know South Texas very well. I know the border well. 
That is why I have been down there so much and am so interested in, of 
course, the border wall, which we are going to have. But we have a 
wonderful friend and a person who has been a good friend. You would 
think he is dead, but he is not. He is very much alive, and he is back 
doing his full-time job.
  I want to say that the time I spent with him down there in Texas long 
before he was even in the position he is in today--he has been a great 
hero down there not just to the people in Texas but people all over the 
country.
