On the recordNovember 14, 2018
I again want to thank my colleague Senator Whitehouse for his very eloquent words about a great American, Claiborne Pell. Just a final comment. If you ever want to feel truly beloved, embraced by constituents, respected and admired, do what I did several times--march in a parade with Claiborne Pell and pretend they cheer for you. Mr. President, I yield the floor. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Johnson). The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.
