Mr. BLUMENTHAL. Madam President, I salute and thank the Senator from Vermont for his extraordinary leadership on this issue of the Violence Against Women Act. He has been truly and deservedly a hero in championing a measure that has saved countless lives and prevented the kinds of suffering and brutality we have seen all too often.

I join in his remarks, and I will speak at greater length about the need for that bill in the future.
