John Garamendi said "Sam, we're just about out of time. Today, March 1, 2011, marks the 50th anniversary, the 50th birthday of the United States Peace Corps. It's been an incredible organization all of these years. Over 200,000 Americans have served, both young and old, in some 139 countries. And so for all of those out there that want to do something very, very special with their life, well, you can Google it or you can go directly to peacecorps.gov. Put your application in and see what the toughest job you ever loved will bring to you. Congressman Sam Farr, thank you so very much for joining me this evening, for Tom Petri and Mike Honda, the four of us who are in Congress that were--that remain--Peace Corps volunteers, and for Lois Capps joining us and giving her perspective, a very big ``thank you.''" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
