I want to say to Senator Enzi, first, we will all have an opportunity in the next few days and weeks to speak about the Senator who was your colleague who left us last night, and we all will have an opportunity to speak with you and see you on more occasions than this to express to you our heartfelt sorrow for the loss of your colleague. You will suffer a lot of things that will be downers during your life in the Senate--and because we all live our lives, things happen, go up and go down--but I am quite sure you will not have an opportunity to suffer any more severe a loss than the loss of your colleague who was at the same time a cowboy, a marine, a Senator, a father, and, clearly, a husband. He had a wife named Susan. Everybody who knows her loves her. My wife loves her.
