                    Remembering Madeleine A. Peters

  Madam President, very sadly, my colleague Gary Peters, who is the 
chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, lost his mom this week, 
and he cannot be with us today. Normally, he would be here speaking on 
behalf of the nomination of Colonel Tien.
  His mother, whom I know and personally and dearly--I have known her 
ever since Gary first joined us--she is a huge Detroit Tigers baseball 
fan, as am I. I had the pleasure of going with her to baseball games 
and considered her a kindred spirit.
  I just want to, literally, as we think about Senator Peters and his 
family this morning--I just want to ask, maybe, for a moment of silence 
to remember her and the Peters family.
  Thank you.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
  (Moment of silence.)
