                    Remembering Christopher S. Bond

  Mr. SCHMITT. Mr. President, I rise for two things. First, I wanted to 
make the Chamber aware of the passing of legendary Missouri Senator Kit 
Bond.
  Former Senator Bond served as Missouri's Governor. He was I think at 
the time Missouri's youngest Governor and still is historically. He 
served in this Chamber for 24 years--one of the longest serving 
Senators from my State.
  I have the honor of standing behind, I suppose, the desk that he once 
had, that Harry Truman had, that Tom Eagleton had, Jack Danforth had, 
Roy Blunt had, and Senator Bond.
  He had a flare, a sense of humor, and an intense dedication for 
delivering for his home State. He will be missed. I am praying for him, 
his wife Linda, his son Sam, and all those who knew and loved Senator 
Bond, during this difficult time.
