On the recordSeptember 24, 2007
As we conclude this historic vote, I thank colleagues on both sides of the aisle and briefly will put a few names into the Record. I know we are moving to another bill. I wish to thank Senator Boxer, Senator Inhofe, and Senator Reid, for living up to his commitment. For the Record, there were several people on my staff who worked so hard over the last 7 years: Herman ``Bubba'' Gesser, Allen Richey, Paul Rainwater, Kathleen Strottman, Jason Matthews, Jason Schendle, Stephanie Leger, Robert Bailey, Jennifer Lancaster, Tanner Jackson, Mark Tiner, Lauren Jardell, Elaine Kimbrell and Lucia Marker-Moore. That is how long this bill has been going on. I have literally had 12 people in and out of the Projects Department working on this bill.
