On the recordDecember 13, 2001
I thank both Senators. Concerning the work, the diligence, the dedication, and the loyalty to our country that is constantly being demonstrated and exhibited by these two leaders of the Armed Services Committee, my words fall pitifully short in expressing my true respect for these two Senators. They leave nothing undone when it comes to the expenditure of hours, labor, toil, and sweat. I also say the same with regard to the staffs of both Senators. As a Member, I have been treated very fairly on both sides. I thank the Senators.
