On the recordNovember 18, 2011
before the Chair recognizes our friend from Alabama, let me thank the Senator from New Hampshire not just for her kind and warm remarks, but also for the great contribution she has made to our committee. It has been an extraordinary launch for her, if I may put it that way. I think--and I know our Presiding Officer would agree with me on this because he has been a witness as well--it has been a major contribution. I thank the Senator. She has the kind of experience and is so committed to the security of this country that the Senator is already venerable as a member of our committee. I yield the floor.
