                             THANKING STAFF

  Mrs. MURRAY. Madam President, before the Senator proceeds, I wish to 
take a minute and thank all of our staffs who worked tremendously hard 
to get this bill to the floor, the staff on the Appropriations 
Committee, Senator Byrd's personal staff--many Members worked very 
hard, along with their staff members but particularly those people who 
sit in the back row back there and are not recognized who stay up very 
late to get this to all of us. To all of our floor staff, I say thank 
you for your tremendous work in getting us to this point.
  I yield the floor.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Alabama is recognized.
