On the recordJune 26, 2003
this morning one of the very able legislative assistants who has worked on this legislation for almost 7 years, going back to the time on the Medicare Commission when we first started doing Medicare reform, was on the floor working with me on amendments in this legislation. She had to temporarily leave because at 5:47 this afternoon she had a little baby girl. That is a very good excuse to not be on the Senate floor. But my legislative director, Sarah Walter, is doing fine. It is a baby girl. The name is yet to be determined, but I wanted to bring that to the attention of my colleagues and all of her colleagues on the professional staff. I yield the floor.
