“once again, I want to thank Senator Murphy and Senator Cassidy for their exceptional passion, leadership, and professionalism on a big issue. We all will have a chance to support their work when the bill comes over from the House on Monday as a part of the 21st Century Cures legislation. I want to reiterate what Senator Murphy said about Mr. Cornyn, the Senator from Texas. He played a key role in developing parts of the legislation that came through the Judiciary Committee and he, like Senator Murphy and Senator Cassidy, had to negotiate a few landmines in order for the bill to be considered and included as it has been. I want to pay my respects to Senator Cornyn and thank him for his leadership on the bill. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Dakota. ____________________”
