Mike Levin: “I want to join Senator Thurmond in thanking Senators Kempthorne and Cleland for their tremendous work on this…”

On the recordNovember 6, 1997
I want to join Senator Thurmond in thanking Senators Kempthorne and Cleland for their tremendous work on this subcommittee. I cannot think of any two colleagues that I would feel more comfortable with being chairman and ranking member of that subcommittee. We will, indeed, miss Senator Kempthorne after he leaves this body. He has been a great friend and a really wonderful participant in our debates and deliberations, just as we welcome Senator Cleland as a new member who has made a wonderful new addition to our committee. We thank them both for their work.
