On the recordMay 26, 2005

we are going to be out in just a couple minutes, but I want to take the opportunity, before closing, to thank the pages, who are sitting here before me, for all the tremendous work they do. It is very rare that we have the opportunity to thank them publicly, and I want to take that opportunity right now. They are here from early in the morning, and they are here tonight at 9 o'clock. It is a little bit after 9 right now. I will slip out, and they will still be here cleaning up and getting things in order. They do a tremendous job, the pages, representing really most parts of the country, and I want to say thank you on behalf of the Democratic leader, the Republican leader, and both sides of the aisle. ____________________
