“I rise today to commend Lee Hamilton for his 34 years of service to the House of Representatives and our great Nation. Lee Hamilton is one of the greatest statesmen of our time and I am honored to be able to count Lee Hamilton as a friend, fellow Democrat, role model, and inspiration. Through his hard work, dedication, sensitivity, and strong ethical underpinnings; Lee Hamilton has forged a path in the U.S. House that all politicians strive to duplicate. Lee is one of the most influential policy makers of this century, both domestically and internationally. This is not by accident--his hard work and determined spirit, coupled with his strong efforts to promote ethical behavior in those that govern, has distinguished him as an exemplary statesman and policy maker, a positive role model not only to those of us in Washington, but for our Nation and future generations. Lee has excelled as a U.S. leader at the forefront of world affairs by distinguishing himself as a thoughtful policy maker, with a strong understanding of the difficult issues that affect the world political environment.”
