                       THANKING SENATOR ALEXANDER

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I express my appreciation to the 
distinguished Senator from Tennessee for his usual courtesies. He had 
to wait for me to get here, and I appreciate his withholding until the 
Republican leader and I got here. The Senator from Tennessee is always 
a gentleman, and even though he and I do not agree once in a while on 
political issues, we always agree he is a gentleman.
  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Tennessee.
  Mr. ALEXANDER. Mr. President, I thank the majority leader for his 
remarks. Unless the Republican leader has some remarks, I would like to 
say a couple things.
