                       REMEMBERING MICHAEL BEAVER

  Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President, I wish to pay respects to a member of 
the Senate family who tragically passed away last week. Michael Beaver 
was a talented attorney who served as the Senate's Assistant 
Parliamentarian. That followed service as deputy legislative counsel 
for the State of California.
  Michael was just 39 years old. He leaves behind his wife, Gilda, his 
two beloved sons, Bradley and Connor, his parents, and an extended 
family that mourns his loss. They are joined by Michael's colleagues 
here on the Senate staff, in the Secretary's office, and with the floor 
staff on both sides of the aisle and throughout our whole institution. 
The Senate's prayers are with all of Michael's family and friends at 
this immensely difficult hour.
