Rep. Corrine Brown: “I often say when we begin our committee meetings, that Secretary Brown…”

On the recordJune 25, 1997

I often say when we begin our committee meetings, that Secretary Brown is one of the brightest spots in President Clinton's administration, but he is also one of the brightest spots in this country. I guess I am going to say good luck. Joy go with you. Leave us here fighting. I know you are going to help us out when you can. I thank my colleagues for joining me. I just want to thank Jesse Brown's family for letting him share this time with us. Let me say, God bless Secretary Jesse Brown and God bless America.
