             CONGRATULATIONS TO LYNDEN AND MEREDITH MELMED

  Mr. CORNYN. Madam President, I wish to say a few words about 
immigration reform, but before I do, I want to recognize a blessed 
occasion of the birth of Caroline Brown Melmed 2 days ago on March 28, 
2006, at 3:58 in the afternoon.
  Caroline's proud father, Lynden Melmed, has been an integral part of 
my Judiciary Committee staff. He is on detail from the Department of 
Homeland Security, and he is an expert in immigration law. One can 
imagine how important he has been in my ability to be effective and 
advance the debate on this important topic.
  He and his wife Meredith undoubtedly will be fantastic parents. As 
the father of two daughters myself, I would tell him it is the greatest 
blessing one could imagine. I wish them the best in the years to come.
