Political Quotes

“Indiana is losing two great Representatives when this session ends: the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Pease) and the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. McIntosh). I think I can speak for all Members when I say that this is not only a loss for Indiana, it is a loss for this body. Both of them are intelligent, hard working Members of Congress. Both of them have remained true to their principles, and both are dedicated to upholding the honor of this House and to the American people. I had the pleasure of serving with the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Pease) on the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. He has the distinction, and I know of no other Member that can make this claim, of attending every single meeting of that committee. But when one looks at where the gentleman from Indiana (Mr. Pease) came from and what he accomplished before he came to Congress, that is not surprising.”
