Madam President, I walked onto the floor just as Senator Leahy was closing his remarks, and I want to tell you that we were together in the Judiciary Committee this morning, where I joined the chorus of praise for his career and his service in the Senate. And it seems like at every room he steps into, there is another tribute, and well-deserved. I thank him for being such a steadfast Member of the Senate and, particularly, of the Senate Judiciary Committee, which will forever be benefitted by his contribution.
