                      Unanimous Consent Agreement

  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak for up 
to 10 minutes.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  Mr. BARRASSO. Mr. President, first, I commend my colleague from 
Kansas for his remarkable commitment to this Nation and to those who 
serve this Nation. And he is always there at the Honor Flights for 
World War II, the Honor Flights of those who served in Korea, of those 
who served in Vietnam, and those who served in the Global War

on Terror. His leadership is commendable, and people from both sides of 
the aisle look up to him and appreciate the work he does on his 
committees and his commitment to the veterans who serve this Nation.
  So I thank the distinguished Senator from Kansas for his ongoing 
commitment, and it is with appreciation and admiration and respect I 
follow his speech to thank him for the commitment and the comments 
about what happened in Afghanistan because just this very weekend, on 
Saturday, the Governor of Wyoming and I stood with over 1,000 people in 
the cold in Wyoming as we honored the life of Rylee McCollum, who was 
one of those 13 who was killed in Kabul at the airport on that fateful 
day in Afghanistan, merely 2 months ago. And with us also was Rylee's 
wife GiGi and the baby that was born after Rylee had been killed--the 
baby who will never know her father, who will always know his story, 
and will always know that he was an American hero.
