I must rise to congratulate our colleague, the new Senator from Wyoming, Senator Enzi, for his statement. I think it is an outstanding statement--his first speech, as I understand it, on the floor on our first legislative day. I just wish to compliment him. I hope every American could hear that speech, a very well-thought-out speech on the necessity and importance of a balanced budget amendment. I think Senator Enzi's credentials are certainly meritorious of that statement, the fact he is an accountant by trade, a businessman, former State legislator as well as mayor. I compliment him and thank him for his well-thought-out speech. I hope everyone will pay attention to it and follow his advice and pass this amendment. I thank him again for his speech.
