                               TONY SNOW

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, on a matter of concern and seriousness, in 
my office

[[Page 7719]]

this morning I had a newspaper clipping regarding Tony Snow. He had a 
tumor removed and the cancer had not returned, and I wrote a letter and 
signed it. A few minutes later, my secretary brought in a news clipping 
that Tony Snow's cancer has returned. I have known Tony Snow long 
before he became the spokesperson for the White House. My relations 
with him have always been superb. To me he has always been very fair. I 
have great respect for him and his family.
  I want the record to reflect that I speak for everyone on this side 
of the aisle of our real concern. He has been a tremendously good 
representative for the President. He does an outstanding job dealing 
with some of the most serious issues any person could face. He has done 
a wonderful job. I hope and pray that Tony Snow will again be able to 
whip the cancer he has already whipped once. With the good thoughts and 
prayers from everyone in this body and the many friends he has in 
Washington and around the world, it will go a long way toward healing 
this man who certainly deserves it.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican leader.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, let me join the majority leader in 
expressing our best wishes, hopes, and prayers for Tony Snow's speedy 
recovery. He has been a spectacular press secretary to the President. 
He enjoys widespread respect and admiration. We wish him well for a 
speedy recovery.
