                         SENATOR CHUCK GRASSLEY

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, first, as the Senate reconvenes this 
afternoon, I am especially happy to welcome back our President pro 
tempore. Senator Grassley quarantined and worked from home following 
his positive COVID test 2 weeks ago. We all predicted that if any 
Member of this body had the stamina and spirit to kick the virus to the 
curb, it would certainly be him, and, sure enough, our colleague 
reports that he experienced no symptoms. His doctors have cleared him 
to come back to work, and we are sure glad to have him back.
  Chairman Grassley had to put his epic streak of consecutive votes 
temporarily on hold for the sake of other people. Of course, leadership 
and example-setting are nothing new for the senior Senator from Iowa. I 
am confident our colleague will pick up exactly where he left off, 
resuming both his perfect attendance record and the tireless work for 
Iowans that it represents. We all benefit so very much from his 
leadership.
