                   RECOGNITION OF THE MINORITY LEADER

  The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The minority leader is recognized.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, normally in opening the majority leader 
goes first, but he and I have never viewed this as a contentious 
process. So since he is not here, I will go ahead with my statement.
