                         REMEMBERING BEAU BIDEN

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I will have more to say about the 
Senate business before the Senate later, but at this time I wish to 
express my sincere condolences to the entire Biden family in their 
moment of such deep and profound loss.
  Beau Biden was known to many as a dedicated public servant, a loving 
father of two, and a devoted partner to the woman he loved, Hallie.
  I have known the Vice President for many years, and it is hard to 
think of anything more important to him than his faith and his family. 
I hope he will find comfort in the former as he grieves such a terrible 
loss.
  The Senate offers its Presiding Officer and every member of his 
family our prayers and our sympathy.
