Chris Dodd said "I wanted to commend our colleague from Pennsylvania who took a trip to Latin America. He talked about it and I commend him for doing that. A lot of attention is being focused-- rightfully so--on Southwest Asia because of events since 9-11. I think it is refreshing that a couple of colleagues took the time to visit this hemisphere and the countries they did and to bring back to the U.S. Senate their own observations about events in Cuba, Chile, Uruguay, and Brazil. I commend our colleague from Pennsylvania. I believe our colleague from Rhode Island, Lincoln Chafee, was along on that trip, and others may have been there also. I thank him for reporting to us on their observations." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
