Political Quotes

“Mr. President, could I have another minute or 2 to make some personal comments, if I could? I had the privilege of serving as Governor before I came to serve 24 years ago as a Senator. Before I was a Governor, I was a Congressman for some 10 years. One of the people I served with in the House of Representatives was Morris Udall--Mo Udall--who was a giant in the House and a giant in the country, a great environmentalist, great conservationist, and a wonderful human being, a wonderful servant. People are probably saying, what is this Udall Foundation? The Udall family--not only Mo Udall but also our colleagues who served here in the Senate, and one of them, if I am not mistaken, may still serve as our U.S. Ambassador to New Zealand. I think of them and I think of the Udall family and what they have meant to this country, to this body over many, many years. I am pleased to be here to put in a good word for Ms. Cahoon, who I think is well-qualified. And I am pleased we will be able to act on that nomination today. I yield the floor. ____________________”
