I found very quickly that if I wanted an answer to a question, I went to Howard Greene and I always got one-- quickly, accurately, and sometimes very, very succinctly. Howard is not a man who wastes words. I found when I needed assistance in working through possible committee assignments and understanding the program and how it all works, Howard Greene was there at my side to give me the assistance I needed and helped me find my way through that, which could be so confusing to a newcomer. Subsequently, as a member of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, I had the opportunity to interact with Howard during appropriations hearings that he was called upon to attend as the Sergeant at Arms. I found that he was not only concerned about Senators and taking care of the needs of Senators, he was also very concerned about the people under his jurisdiction.
