  Mr. CARPER. Madam President, I come to the floor this afternoon to 
talk about my friend Bob Dole, who was laid to rest last week. Before I 
do that, I want to just take a moment to express our heartfelt thoughts 
and sorrow at the loss of so many lives in more than a half dozen 
States, including Kentucky, where my sister and her family live; 
including Arkansas, where other friends live.
  We just want the folks to know who are going through a really tough 
time and tough patch, that when we talk a lot about you are in our 
thoughts and our prayers, that you literally are, and it is not just 
words that we are saying. We hope and promise we will be there to help 
you going forward as you deal with all of this.
