                         HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY

  Mr. CARPER. Madam President, I just want to start off with this. This 
is Valentine's Day, and there are different days of the year that are 
more special to us than others--other than Thanksgiving and Christmas. 
I even like Halloween. But I think Valentine's Day is very special.
  For our loved ones, our spouses or significant others, and our 
children, we love them, and I hope they know that. But to the people 
who work here day in and day out, the folks who are here when it is a 
weekend, when other folks are maybe heading out for the holidays to 
visit their families across the country, we don't say thanks enough. So 
to all of them, from my heart and from my staff, and, I think, from all 
of us--Democrats and Republicans in the Senate--we want to say thank 
you and happy Valentine's Day.
