Tom Carper

Not everybody agreed with George Herbert Walker Bush some 20 years ago, over 20 years ago, when he was President.

I see we have been joined by the senior Senator from the State of Hawaii. Aloha.

I have been asked to lead us through this wrapup session, even though it is a little early to wrap up, but I want to walk through it if I can. ____________________

I thank the Senator from Louisiana for her comments and her leadership on this issue. I also would like to thank the committee staff, especially David Brooks, for all the hard work they have done over the years to make a national park a…

I am Tom Carper, and I approve that message.

We are grateful for those who have served in the interim in this capacity, but this is far too long.

I think that is potentially not just a good piece of business for the Postal Service, but, actually, something that could be very good for our country as we seek to encourage folks to exercise their Constitutional right.

It is much easier to become a State.

Every approach that has been explored... have been rejected by opponents for those who seek to block the ability of District residents to have equal rights.
