                     THANKING THE PRESIDING OFFICER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, on behalf of all Senators, I express my 
appreciation to the Presiding Officer. It is a real sacrifice to be 
here on a Friday afternoon, where there isn't a lot going on on the 
floor, but there were things that had to be done. Of course, the 
Senator from Vermont is known for his patience. And here is another 
example of it.
  So on behalf of all Senators, thank you very much for your time and 
for the many hours this afternoon.

                          ____________________
