Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, before I begin my remarks today, I want to say a word about our former colleague Christopher ``Kit'' Bond, who passed away yesterday at the age of 88.

Kit Bond dedicated his life to serving the people of Missouri. After serving as State auditor, he became Missouri's youngest Governor at the age of 33. Missourians sent him to the U.S. Senate in 1986, and he served here for 24 years.

His interests were many, from literacy and housing to trade with Southeast Asia. And those of us who knew him remember his kindness, his great care for people, and his love for this institution.

Today, I remember Kit for his life and for his service, and my prayers are with his wife Linda and his son Sam.
