my colleagues, first, I thank the leadership on both sides for this opportunity to give a Pat Roberts ``adios, amigos'' speech. The story of how I got into politics is a pretty straight family path. As a fourth-generation Kansan, my…

I appreciate the work of my colleagues for raising the issue of the site of National Museum of the American Latino and for helping to find agreement. I thank Chairman Blunt and Senator Cornyn for their commitment. I also thank many of our…
