I just want to add my commendation. It was such a well done, brilliant, articulate, carefully thought out speech. But it is not a surprise because our new Senator, the junior Senator from Maryland, is like that. We are so excited to have him and our freshman class--some of his colleagues came here today. We wish it had been larger in quantity, but they sure make up for it in quality, as Senator Van Hollen's speech showed. And parenthetically, maybe he will be able to increase that quantity in one of his other new jobs. With that, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa.
