                DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION BILL

  Mr. FRIST. Mr. President, I do want to add my congratulations to the 
managers, Senators Warner and Levin. They have done a tremendous job on 
the Defense authorization bill, a very important bill. We had several 
pauses over the course of today that we were able to work through, and 
not at all with the substance of the bill, but with related issues. But 
I congratulate both of them for their hard work, for their dedication, 
and for their patriotism, all of which is reflected in that Defense 
authorization conference report that we just passed.
