Mr. President, I want to thank my good friend Senator McConnell for his comments this morning, and I have reserved some time this afternoon for what would be my official farewell address in the Senate. But as it relates to our leader, Mr. McConnell, he and I were whips-- when I was a whip in the House, he was a whip in the Senate. We met every week. We have had a long and close relationship. I am grateful for his advice, his friendship, and his comments today. Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Republican whip.
