                            THANKS TO STAFF

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I wanted to thank my staff director of the

Senate Budget Committee. The other day I thanked all of those who have 
worked so hard on the farm bill, the members of my staff, including my 
lead negotiator and my entire negotiating team; six members of my 
staff. I did not thank at that time my staff director on the Senate 
Budget Committee, Mary Naylor.
  No one has worked harder in this Chamber at the staff level to try to 
get us back on a fiscal track that makes sense than Mary Naylor. She 
has been with me many years. She was the person who ran all of my 
budget operations before I became chairman of the Budget Committee, and 
when I became chairman, I asked her to be the staff director because 
there is no one for whom I have higher regard than Mary Naylor, and I 
wanted to thank her formally and publicly today for her extraordinary 
commitment to making this country better.
  I thank the Chair, and I yield the floor.
  Mr. ENZI. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to speak as in 
morning business without a time limit.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so 
ordered.
