“I salute and thank the Senator from Vermont for his extraordinary leadership on this issue of the Violence Against Women Act. He has been truly and deservedly a hero in championing a measure that has saved countless lives and prevented the kinds of suffering and brutality we have seen all too often. I join in his remarks, and I will speak at greater length about the need for that bill in the future. (The remarks of Mr. Blumenthal pertaining to the introduction of S. Res. 428 are located in today's Record under ``Submissions of Concurrent and Senate Resolutions.'')”
