                     ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, it was great to see our now-former 
colleague, Senator Sessions, confirmed as the Nation's 84th Attorney 
General yesterday. We all had to watch as he was subjected to a 
terrible campaign of unfair and deeply personal attacks. He endured it 
all with grace, though, and with the same considerable dignity, 
respect, and courtesy we have long known Senator Sessions for. We are 
going to miss him in the Senate, but we couldn't be more proud of him 
as he begins this new position.
