                        Tribute to Patrick Leahy

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, I know you will be taking the 
floor in a few minutes. I spoke about the bittersweet mood we all have 
of your departure--bitter in the sense that you have done so much for 
the Senate, for Vermont, and for America over the years that we will 
badly miss you; sweet because you will get to spend more time with 
Marcelle, your children, your lovely grandchildren. And you deserve it, 
after all these great years of service.
  It is one of the most extraordinary records any Senator has compiled 
in the history of this country. So thank you for your service and your 
continued service through January of 2022.
