                        SENATOR SALAZAR'S MOTHER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, this afternoon, I rise to extend the 
thoughts and prayers of the entire Senate to Senator Ken Salazar who 
left the Capitol last night to be with his mother, Emma. Mrs. Salazar 
is suffering from very delicate health. She was taken early this 
morning from her home in Alamosa, CO, to Denver for hospitalization.
  The entire Salazar family is together in Denver as we speak 
comforting her and each other during this very difficult time.
  I want them to know that the thoughts of everyone in this Chamber are 
with them.
  Those of us who have come to know Ken Salazar know what a gentleman 
he is and how family oriented he is.
  I spoke to him last night as he was getting ready to leave, and he is 
very concerned about his mom.
  We wish Ken and his family the very best. I hope all Members of the 
Senate family would keep this good man and his family in their prayers.
