What I would love to do here on the House floor, because I think in a way it might best illustrate what I could say about his talents, was just to speak to the details of six or seven interventions and times that I dealt with him on a particular project over the years, but I feel like I would be bringing WikiLeaks to the House floor were I to go through all of those. So I will restrain myself just to say he truly was one of a kind. We will miss his brilliance, his energy, his ability to play chess, to see the long term and the unbelievable force of his personality.
