I thank Senator Cochran, I thank Senator Stevens, and I thank the great Senator from Georgia, Senator Isakson, for their kind words. I thank the Chair and I thank God we were here today. I thank our Heavenly Father, especially, for this man, this Senator, Ted Stevens, and for his service to our country and to the Senate. I salute him as one of the great Senators of my time--and I have been here a long time. I yield the floor.
