CONGRATULATIONS TO SENATOR BYRD ON THE BIRTH OF HIS GREAT GRANDDAUGHTER

  Mr. LOTT. Mr. President, I want to express my happiness and 
congratulations to the distinguished Senator from West Virginia on the 
birth of his great granddaughter. One of the most memorable experiences 
I had in my life in the Senate was his beautiful and eloquent statement 
on the floor in recognition of June 20, 1998, the date of the birth of 
that fine young American, my grandson, Chester Trent Lott, III. So I 
know how much it means to Senator Byrd as his family continues to grow 
and expand, and what a lovely gift it is to have that great grandchild. 
I thank Senator Byrd for making us all aware of this. I am sorry my 
eloquence could never rise to the level of his on the birth of my 
grandson. But I will continue to work on that, I should say to Senator 
Byrd.
