On the recordNovember 30, 2012
before Senator Shaheen leaves the floor, I want to add my thanks to her and for those words expressed by Senator McCain. Senator Shaheen is, indeed, an extraordinary Member of this body and a great asset for us on the Armed Services Committee. I very much appreciate her work on so many issues including the one she just spoke about. I so much regret I was unable to be at that event yesterday for Senator Rudman, because my memories of him are warm and I had very much looked forward to being there. I could not be there, but I know that Senator McCain--I don't know who else spoke. I have heard rave reviews about the quality of the speeches. Mr. McCAIN. The Vice President of the United States also was in attendance.
