On the recordSeptember 18, 1996
I think that the two gentleman we are here to give tribute to today are two of the big reasons for that. Glen Browder and Tom Bevill, you all were here before I came. You worked well together. You worked well with Sonny Callahan and Bill Dickenson, and you sort of established that tradition in the Alabama delegation, something that I benefited from, something that the State of Alabama has benefited from, our delegation, working together for the good of the State and for the Nation. And, first of all, I think that is a legacy that you all will leave with those who stay behind, that we will continue as an Alabama delegation to put aside petty politics and party labels for the best interests of our State.
