                        REMEMBERING TED STEVENS

  Mr. GRASSLEY. Mr. President, later today, I will attend the portrait 
unveiling of my former colleague and friend, Senator Ted Stevens, who 
served in the Senate from 1968 until 2009.
  This portrait is being added to the Senate leadership portrait 
collection because of Senator Stevens' service as the President pro 
tempore, a position I now hold.
  Senator Stevens was known for his tireless work on behalf of the 
State of Alaska and their citizens. He had quite a reputation for 
reaching across party lines to get the job done.
  I am honored to attend today's ceremony adding Senator Stevens' 
portrait to the historic walls of the U.S. Capitol.
  I yield the floor.
  I suggest the absence of a quorum.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll.
  The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order 
for the quorum call be rescinded.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
