                            SENATOR KENNEDY

  Mr. KERRY. Mr. President, I thank the Senator from West Virginia for 
his comments about my colleague, Senator Kennedy, who I know, if he 
were here, would be equally grateful. I am not going to be addressing 
the issue of Senator Kennedy's birthday today. I will do so tomorrow. 
But we are all grateful for Senator Byrd and what he represents in the 
Senate. There is nobody who knows the record of my colleague better, 
who has served with him longer, or who has been through more battles 
with him than Senator Byrd. We are grateful for those comments.
