I just want to start off with this. This is Valentine's Day, and there are different days of the year that are more special to us than others--other than Thanksgiving and Christmas. I even like Halloween. But I think Valentine's Day is very special. For our loved ones, our spouses or significant others, and our children, we love them, and I hope they know that. But to the people who work here day in and day out, the folks who are here when it is a weekend, when other folks are maybe heading out for the holidays to visit their families across the country, we don't say thanks enough. So to all of them, from my heart and from my staff, and, I think, from all of us--Democrats and Republicans in the Senate--we want to say thank you and happy Valentine's Day. ____________________
