On the recordNovember 29, 2012
If the gentlelady would yield to me one more time, as to Mr. Platts and to yourself, I mean, the word that has come to me as I'm sitting here and always has struck me is ``respect.'' You both have respect on both sides of the aisle. You listen, you work, you have energy, you want to make this country a better place for all of us. And I just want to thank you for the service to the Nation. It's been an honor to serve with both of you. And I would say to my friend, Mr. Platts, he introduced me to about a half a dozen military installations in the Far East on the fastest moving trip I have ever been on; and that was a year and a half ago and I'm still tired from how quickly and how much energy he put into this trip to expose me to the needs of our troops throughout the Far East. {time} 1420 Again, your respect on both sides of the aisle is well known. Your energy is well known. And thank you for your service.
