“Mr. President, Nebraskans have every reason to be proud of Senator Fischer and her very impressive start here in the Senate. She has proven herself to be a thoughtful leader in our State, a reasoned voice in our legislature which listened to her and followed her leadership. She has been firm in her principles, while also demonstrating a serious commitment to reaching across the aisle to solve problems. From successful legislation encouraging rural broadband to visiting our troops in Afghanistan, Senator Fischer has had a very active first few months. Her experience as a State Senator undoubtedly helped her to hit the ground running here in Washington and also grounded her in the principles which are so important to Nebraskans, the people she and I represent. I am proud to say I look forward to teaming up with Senator Fischer in the weeks and months ahead. In view of the fact I have announced I won't be seeking reelection, she will soon be the senior Senator from the State of Nebraska, and I have no doubt whatsoever she will do a great job. I am proud to be her colleague and congratulate her on her maiden speech. Mr. President, I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Wyoming.”
