                       APPLAUDING SENATOR SCHUMER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I appreciate very much the statement of the 
Senator from New York. New York is the financial capital of the world, 
and the Senator from New York, having long represented that State in 
the House of Representatives, has certainly hit the ground running here 
in the Senate. We depend on the Senator from New York on many occasions 
for financial information and advice due to the fact that he comes from 
the financial capital of the world. His very vivid description of the 
debate last night, in financial terms and what the tax situation is 
from both candidates, was welcome. I congratulate and applaud the 
Senator for his very lucid statement.
  Mr. SCHUMER. I thank my friend, who is a great leader for all of us. 
He is always giving us younger Members time to make our statements on 
the floor, in addition to all the other nice things he does.
