                         THANKING BOB SCHIEFFER

  Mrs. DOLE. Mr. President, I want to publicly thank our friend, Bob 
Schieffer, of CBS for revealing the story of his battle with bladder

especially men. In most every cancer case, early detection of and 
proper treatment can save your life. Bob Schieffer had a problem and 
immediately sought medical advice. The result was that in less than 8 
months, he is cancer free. Thank you, Bob, for giving others direction 
and hope.
  I yield the floor.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Who yields time? The Senator from 
Iowa is recognized.
