                      APPRECIATION OF SENATOR REID

  Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I want to say to my friend 
from Nevada before he leaves the floor, what an absolute privilege and 
honor it has been for me to serve with him in the U.S. Senate. He is an 
example of bipartisanship and friendship, which I will always treasure. 
We have had private conversations about many issues here and while 
serving on the Ethics Committee, which is kind of like purgatory.
  I will never forget you, Senator Reid, and I very much am going to 
miss you. I hope I will get a chance to see you from time to time as 
the years go by.
