inouye: madam president, i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: the presiding officer: the senator from illinois is recognized. mr. kirk: i ask unanimous consent to dispense with the quorum call and move as if in morning business. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. kirk: madam president, i wanted to rise while we're waiting for authors of their amendments to come to the floor on the point of personal business to eulogize one of my mentors in politics. state representative betty lou reed died this week and she was somebody that many of us in northern illinois looked up to. betty lou reed served from her home community of deerfield, illinois. she knew senator everett dirksen well and helped out in his campaigns for re-election, and she was someone that practiced the art of politics from the fiscally conservative side but the ideological center. she was someone who was a role model for many of us at the township, at the state and especially at the federal level.
