                           SENATOR CHRIS DODD

  Mr. REID. Mr. President, the good priest has a wonderful person as 
one of his parishioners, someone we all look up to, someone we will 
miss dearly. For me, it is a personal loss. He is very proud of his 
religion. Obviously, the guest Chaplain is one reason.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Will the majority leader allow me to make an 
observation?
  Mr. REID. Of course.
  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I had the opportunity to meet the 
father in the hall. I expressed to him my admiration for Senator Dodd. 
In fact, I said he was my favorite Democrat. We are indeed going to 
miss Senator Dodd in the Senate in the coming years. I thank him for 
being with us this morning.
