Political Quotes

“I have known Glen Browder for about 20 years. We served together in the Alabama State Legislature, and it was indeed a pleasure to have had the opportunity to serve with him there as well as here. But to my good friend Tom Bevill, he has been a true Alabamian, he has been a true American. He has been true to the cause. He has been fantastic in what he has done for this country. I congratulate him for his length of service, and I thank you for giving me the opportunity of being here with you. I will surely miss both Tom Bevill and Glen Browder. We have been lucky, and yes, blessed, to have had two such strong Congressmen as these men, they are able and true. First, I must mention my good friend, Tom Bevill of Alabama's Fourth District. Mr. Bevill, as chairman of the Appropriations' Energy and Water Development Subcommittee created the Tenn-Tomm Waterway which flows through the length of my district. Just last week, Tom helped me in my efforts to stop the flooding along Birmingham's Village Creek, an area which is not even close to Mr. Bevill's district, but that is the kind of man he is, kind and caring, a real gentleman.”
