                    BIRTH OF ELIZABETH MERRELL LUGAR

  Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, during this past recess of the Senate, my 
wife Charlene and I received the joyous news that Elizabeth Merrell 
Lugar, the newborn daughter and first child of our son, David Riley 
Lugar, and his wife, Katherine Graham Lugar, had been born on May 25, 
2004, at Sibley Memorial Hospital, Washington, DC. Elizabeth was a 
healthy 7 pounds, 2 ounces at birth. Lawrence Graham and Jane Graham, 
Charlene, and I greeted our new granddaughter and her parents at a 
family dinner in their McLean, VA, residence on May 31.
  Katherine and David were married on June 3, 2000, in St. David's 
Episcopal Church, Austin, TX. Katherine, a graduate of the University 
of Colorado, is vice president of government affairs of the National 
Retail Federation. David Lugar came with us to Washington, along with 
his three brothers, 27 years ago. He graduated from Langley High 
School, McLean, VA, and Indiana University and is a partner of Quinn 
Gillespie & Associates. Both Katherine and David are well known to many 
of our colleagues and their staff members.
  We know that you will understand our excitement and our joy that they 
and we have been given this divine blessing and responsibility for a 
glorious new chapter in our lives.
