This year, Senator Warner became the second longest serving U.S. Senator from Virginia in the 218-year history of the Senate. Since arriving in the Senate 27 years ago, he has forged a long and distinguished record, especially on issues concerning the Armed Forces. He has addressed some of the most fundamental security issues facing this Nation, including the revitalization of the Armed Forces under President Reagan, the restructuring of the military following our success in the Cold War, and the countering of emerging threats from foreign nations and terrorist groups. It is my pleasure to call Senator Warner a colleague and a friend. He is a Senator's Senator, representing the best in this august institution. We all congratulate him on his lifetime commitment to serving this country with honor and distinction. (Applause, Members rising.) The PRESIDING OFFICER. The minority leader.
