Mr. President, as I had said earlier, I intended to make some comments following the speech by Senator Casey on my 10,000th vote. I have since deferred to Senators Menendez and Lautenberg. I intend to get to that speech. I will make some unanimous consent requests before I speak instead of after so that the clerks can go about their business and go home. As I mentioned, I have told family members that I was going to speak--my wife, my sister, and aunt. So it is coming. First, I will do some other business of the Senate. ____________________
