                        REMEMBERING JOHN WARNER

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, we were greeted this morning by some very 
sad news, that our former colleague Senator John Warner of Virginia had 
passed away at the age of 94.
  A five-term Senator, he was a consummate public servant, a consensus 
builder, an authority on military affairs--one of the last World War II 
veterans to serve in this Chamber. And he actually interrupted his law 
school studies to join the Marine Corps during the Korean war. The kind 
of stature that he had, his great, great reaching across the aisle in 
bipartisanship is something this Chamber misses, and we miss him.
  At my request, the flags around the Senate side of the U.S. Capitol 
will be lowered to half-staff in his honor.
  On behalf of the Senate, I want to express our condolences to his 
family and his friends and our gratitude for his amazing service to 
America throughout his life.
