                            GRANDPARENTS DAY

  Mr. LEAHY. Madam President, first, on a personal basis, earlier, at 
the opening of the session, it was noted that yesterday was 
Grandparents Day. I send my best to all those who are grandparents. The 
Presiding Officer, of course, is far too young to know the joys of that 
time in our lives. She does have the joy of two of the most beautiful 
children anybody has seen in the Senate family. But there will be a day 
when the other will come. The ranking member and I have the joy of 
being grandparents.
  So I wish all grandparents the best and also extend special wishes to 
one growing, shameless Leahy.
  After that outrageous usurpation of the podium, Madam President, 
probably, if my wife is watching, she is probably beginning to wonder 
if I took too much time off in August.
