                           THANKING THE PAGES

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, we are going to be out in just a couple 
minutes, but I want to take the opportunity, before closing, to thank 
the pages, who are sitting here before me, for all the tremendous work 
they do. It is very rare that we have the opportunity to thank them 
publicly, and I want to take that opportunity right now.
  They are here from early in the morning, and they are here tonight at 
9 o'clock. It is a little bit after 9 right now. I will slip out, and 
they will still be here cleaning up and getting things in order.

  They do a tremendous job, the pages, representing really most parts 
of the country, and I want to say thank you on behalf of the Democratic 
leader, the Republican leader, and both sides of the aisle.
