                     THANKS TO THE MAJORITY LEADER

  Mr. BYRD. Mr. President, I thank the distinguished Republican leader 
for his willingness to have a session on tomorrow in order that I and 
other Senators might make speeches which we have not had an opportunity 
to give during the previous busy days of this week. But I thought it 
better, if it could be done, that we complete our speeches today and 
not cause the Senate to have to be in session on tomorrow.
  I did want to thank the majority leader for his willingness to have 
the Senate come in.
  Mr. President, I thank those who have stayed to listen, and may God 
bless all the Members of this body and all the staff people who work to 
help us to serve our constituents. May he continue to bless this great 
country, and may we as Americans never forget that this country has 
been a favorite in God's masterful design. God bless America.
  I yield the floor.
