again, I want to identify myself with the remarks of the majority leader. These staff are the best there could be. I thank them, on behalf of the entire Senate, for their hard work, for their professionalism, for the level of commitment they make each and every time they come to work. I thank them for what they do. There are so many ways we ought to stop throughout the year and express ourselves in as heartfelt a way as we can, but at least now at the end of this Congress, we ought to say--with an exclamation point--thank you. Thank you for what you do. Thank you for who you are. Thank you for what you give each and every day. Mr. REID addressed the Chair. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Nevada.
