On the recordDecember 12, 2014
I know that Senator Harkin is waiting to speak. Senator Harkin is truly one of the greatest Senators I have ever served with and Senator Harkin is one of the greatest people I have ever known. He, Ruth, Barb, and I have spent quality time, which is not always true for many of us in the Senate to have that opportunity. I thank everyone. The words have meant so much to me and my family today. I am going to join my family now. I know Tom will forgive me for not listening, but I will be reading what you say. You, Ruth, Barb, and I will have some more quality time together--perhaps not as much fun as being in the Senate, but we will make the best of it. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Iowa. Farewell To The Senate
