  The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
  The resolution (S. Res. 170) was agreed to.
  The preamble was agreed to.
  (The resolution, with its preamble, is printed in the Record of June 
13, 2013, under ``Submitted Resolutions.'')
  Mr. REID. Mr. President, we whipped right through this, but John 
Lewis in my lifetime is one of the finest, most patriotic, courageous 
people I have ever known. I have so much admiration for this man. I 
have told him this personally. I want the Record to be spread with 
this. He is a person who as a very young man wanted to change the world 
in his own way, and in his own way he has helped change the world. I so 
admire him.
