                    WELCOMING THE PRESIDING OFFICER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I would also note that the Presiding Officer 
today is from the State of Montana. It is the first time the 
distinguished Senator has presided. We congratulate you. And I 
recognize the State of Montana is bigger than the State of Nevada.
  I remember, with a lot of fondness, the first time I campaigned in 
the State of Montana. I was struck by how big that State is. We flew 
most all of 2 days around that State and never got from one end to the 
other. It is a big State, and we are very grateful they have a big 
Senator representing it.
