  Mr. BAUCUS. I thank the Chair
  (The remarks of Mr. Baucus pertaining to the introduction of S. 2107 
are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced Bills 
and Joint Resolutions.'')
  Mr. BAUCUS. Mr. President, I thank the Senators from Oklahoma and 
Idaho for their courtesy. There were three of us scheduled to speak at 
the same time. Obviously, that is very difficult to do. These two 
Senators graciously allowed me to go ahead. I thank them both.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Thune). The Senator from Oklahoma.
