Mr. President, I Ask Unanimous Consent That The Senate Observe A Moment Of Silence In Memory Of Our Former Colleague, The Late Senator From Alaska, Ted Stevens. The ACTING PRESIDENT Pro Tempore. Without Objection, It Is So Ordered. (Moment Of Silence.) Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I Ask Unanimous Consent That The Senate Proceed To The Immediate Consideration Of S. Res. 617, Submitted Earlier Today. The ACTING PRESIDENT Pro Tempore. Without Objection, The Clerk Will Report The Resolution By Title. The Legislative Clerk Read As Follows: A Resolution (S. Res. 617) Relative To The Death Of The Honorable Theodore ''Ted'' Fulton Stevens, Former Senator For The State Of Alaska. There Being No Objection, The Senate Proceeded To Consider The Resolution. Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I Would Like To Take This Opportunity, And I Think I Speak On Behalf Of All Of Our Colleagues, Certainly In Sentiment If Not My Exact Words, About Our Friend And Former Colleague, Ted Stevens. On Tuesday We Were All Deeply Saddened To Learn About His Tragic Passing. Ted's Dedication To His Nation Began With His Valiant Service In World War II And Endured Through Six Decades Of Public Service. Ted Helped Secure Statehood For His Beloved Alaska And Never Stopped Fighting For The People Of The Pioneer State For Over 40 Years As Its Senior Senator. Our Thoughts Are With Ted's Wife Catherine And The Entire Stevens Family And All Of Those Who Lost Their Lives And Were Injured In This Week's Sad Accident. Mr. President, I Want To Personally Add The Thoughts Of Senator Reid. I Spoke With Him Last Night. We Spoke About Senator Stevens And Remembered Him Fondly. Senator Reid Particularly Noted To Me One Of His Prize Possessions Was A Hulk Tie That Senator Stevens Had Given Him, And He Proudly Still Has It With Him. Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, In The History Of Our Country, No One Man Has Done More For One State Than Ted Stevens. His Commitment To The People Of Alaska And His Nation Spanned Decades, And He Left A Lasting Mark On Both. From His Early Military Service As A Pilot In World War II, To His Involvement In The Statehood Of The Last Frontier, To His Fierce Support And Defense Of Our Nation's Military, Ted Stevens Was Always There, Fighting For What He Believed In, And Usually Winning. He Was A Force To Be Reckoned With, And We Will Miss Him Greatly. We Extend Our Deepest Sympathies To Catherine And The Entire Stevens Family, And To The Families Of The Friends Who Were Lost In This Terrible Accident. Mr. SCHUMER.
