                                WELCOME

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, I, first of all, welcome everyone back after 
the long break we had. I hope it was restful and productive for 
everyone.
  As happens every 4 years, we have a Presidential election year and, 
as a result of that, things should be more tense than usual, but I 
certainly hope not.
