                        RETIREMENT OF BRIAN LAMB

  Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, as my colleagues know, Brian Lamb, the 
founder and CEO of C-SPAN, recently announced his decision to retire.
  Brian Lamb is a broadcasting legend who made the workings of our 
government accessible and transparent to every American through C-SPAN, 
the nonprofit cable network he founded 33 years ago. I have had the 
privilege of knowing Brian for many years, and there are many people 
across the country who still believe we were separated at birth.
  More seriously, Brian's unquestioned integrity and profound 
commitment to making government accountable to the people have made a 
lasting contribution to our democracy. The American people owe Brian 
Lamb a debt of gratitude, and we wish him all the best in this new 
chapter of his remarkable career.
