Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, first, I wish to compliment my good friend from Vermont on his excellent remarks. I am proud to be a cosponsor on his legislation on the antitrust exception. I also wish to say to my friend that I know he was a little bit under the weather the last few days. I called him a couple times to wish him well. I think I can speak for every one of the other 99 of us, we are glad the Chairman is back and in fighting form. END
