                        TRIBUTE TO POPE LEO XIV

  Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I also want to mention Cardinal Robert 
Prevost, who on Thursday became Pope Leo XIV, and I want to extend my 
congratulations on his election and my prayers for his service.
  I know that his election is particularly moving for American 
Catholics, who for the first time in history will be led by an 
American-born Pope. I am very happy for them, and I look forward to 
seeing what this son of the Midwest brings to the Catholic Church and 
to the world.
