                         HOMAGE TO SENATOR BYRD

  Mrs. McCASKILL. Mr. President, first, let me pay homage to the senior 
Senator from West Virginia who, in a typically eloquent way, spoke to 
the Senate about his long service to his State. Let me tell the people 
of West Virginia, they don't need to worry; they have a very strong 
Senator in this body. Any comments about his age are misplaced, because 
his passion and his intellectual heft and his knowledge of history and 
the Constitution far outweigh any considerations one would have about 
his age.
  (The remarks of Mrs. McCaskill pertaining to the introduction of S. 
1723 are located in today's Record under ``Statements on Introduced 
Bills and Joint Resolutions.'')
