                     LEGISLATIVE SESSION--Continued

  Mr. COONS. With that, I yield to my colleague from the State of 
Illinois.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Illinois.
  Mr. DURBIN. Madam President, first, let me say I am joining in with 
the action just taken by the Senate, led by Senator Coons, who has 
shown an extraordinary gift of understanding of the importance of the 
African continent and the people that need to be part of its future.
  I wholeheartedly support the effort which he initiated on the floor 
this afternoon. And I believe that Dr. Muyangwa is going to be a 
valuable asset to AID and to Africa, and I thank him for his leadership 
in bringing this issue before us today.
