Political Quotes

“Madam President, I just want to follow on from what Senator Murkowski just said. Here is our resolution, S. 5066, introduced by Senator Murkowski and myself, and we just want to thank our colleagues for agreeing to this tribute to Congressman Don Young. We miss him every day, and as Senator Murkowski so eloquently stated, we are naming buildings and job centers--he did a great job on that--but it is great to be able to be naming a volcano, very appropriately a volcano, for Don Young. So good to be here on the floor with my friend and fellow colleague from Alaska, and it is great to see the majority leader and my colleagues agree to this naming. Hopefully, we will get this signed into law soon--a volcano, a Federal courthouse in Fairbanks, a job training center, all in the name of our greatest Congressman ever--50 years, half a century almost. Pretty remarkable and really an honor to be here on the Senate floor to watch it get passed. I yield the floor. ____________________”
