Harry Reid said "I rise to express how much I appreciate his work of the last 2 days. It has been very difficult. He and I worked together on Military Construction when I was chairman and he was ranking member. Through each ordeal we experience we become closer, and I have become more appreciative of his legislative abilities. For both of us to be able to work with one of the legends of the Senate, Senator Byrd, is always a pleasure and a learning experience.

I rise to express how much I appreciate his work of the last 2 days. It has been very difficult. He and I worked together on Military Construction when I was chairman and he was ranking member. Through each ordeal we experience we become closer, and I have become more appreciative of his legislative abilities. For both of us to be able to work with one of the legends of the Senate, Senator Byrd, is always a pleasure and a learning experience. I want to make sure that spread on the Record is my appreciation for the good work done by the two managers of this bill.
