Political Quotes

On the recordJanuary 5, 2011
I am going to put down this microphone for a moment and speak from here in a gesture of bipartisanship on how we can improve the Senate. I know we have heard a lot of talk about Robert C. Byrd, a beloved individual. The last time Bob Byrd spoke publicly was in the rules committee, when he rose to the occasion in a very passionate way. The chairman, of course, Chuck Schumer, the Senator from New York, with great deference recognized Senator Byrd. We were all on the edge of our chairs. The Senator from Tennessee has already gone over what Senator Byrd said at that time and previously. But I remember when I first came to the Senate, it was required that we go to school, so to speak, and Senator Byrd talked to all of the freshmen at that particular time. The keeper of the institutional flame was the tag I put on Senator Byrd. My wife Franki and I became very close friends of the Senator.
