Mr. President, there is nothing I can say to assuage the anguish that my friend, the Republican leader, Mitch McConnell, now feels. It is a unique relationship that comes with our staff members, especially someone who has been with us as many years as Kyle has been with Leader McConnell. These people become part of us. As we can see, Kyle Simmons has become part of Mitch McConnell. My dealings with Kyle Simmons are meetings that are held in my office or in Senator McConnell's office, and if there were a way to describe my dealings with Kyle Simmons, it would be to go to the dictionary, under the Hs, and go to the word ``humility,'' and there would be Kyle Simmons. He is just as Mitch McConnell described him. He is a man who has loads of humility. He does not talk very often. But whenever he talks, we listen. So I wish you the very best, Kyle, in the things you do, and I recognize that your boss, Mitch McConnell, was speaking for the entire Senate in our relationships with our staff. But, of course, even though there are many relationships with our staff, I think the relationship between Senator Mitch McConnell and Kyle Simmons, as we can see, is very unique. The best of luck to you, Kyle. ____________________

Mr. President, last night the Republican nominee for President failed to give any assurance of any kind or a coherent explanation as to why he refuses to release his tax returns--because there is no coherent reason. It is hard to give one…
