  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, first this morning, the Senate and the 
American people are watching the news regarding our friends in the 
United Kingdom and the health of their beloved Queen Elizabeth.
  The Queen is an exemplar of steady leadership and a beloved figure 
around the world. She has been a historic friend of the United States. 
The decades of her reign have seen a profound deepening of the special 
relationship between our two countries that has literally changed the 
world.
  The Queen, the royal family, and all our friends in the United 
Kingdom have our thoughts and our prayers.
