On the recordJanuary 19, 2022
I appreciate the clarification from my colleague from California. Mr. President, let me say what a privilege it is to have the opportunity to make this speech in front of you, the fifth longest serving Senator in the history of the U.S. Senate--somebody who has been in the Senate for 46 years. I was 11 when you came to the U.S. Senate, and I am not a young man anymore. I am 57 years old.
