I have no further requests for time. Joe Courtney said, ``Don't forget to mention the Patriots,'' so I would be remiss if I didn't.
On January 7, 2015--I was not present for rollcall votes 8-10. If I had been present for these votes, I would have voted: ``aye'' on rollcall vote 8--H.R. 26; ``nay'' on rollcall vote 9--H.R. 37; ``aye'' on rollcall vote 10--H.R. 23…

Our topic today is a solemn one and yet a hopeful one. It is about the 35th President of the United States, John Fitzgerald Kennedy. He speaks to us still. In November 1983, I submitted an op-ed piece to our local paper, the East Hartford…
I want to thank Mike Capuano for organizing this Special Order. Both Steny and Rich have said it well. Everything that is rich about public service is embodied in the service provided by Barry Sullivan. As Rich pointed out, to have come…
