Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 28, 2012
Today we honor seven Members of Congress from California who have honorably served in the United States House of Representatives.

I have been joined by some of my California Members who will be coming in and out; they may wish to speak and we will be happy to yield to them. But first we have a good friend from North Dakota who is also departing, U.S. Representative Rick Berg, and I will yield to him.
