I do want to say this. We lost a great United States Senator this week. It is tragic for all parties. In discussing him, I learned a lot from Senator Paul Coverdell. One thing I learned, although he was a Republican and was a great, key member of the Republican team, he always showed us by instruction, never put politics over policy. What we are about here is good policy. Our hands are open to the White House, to the Senate, to the Democrats, to Republicans of different philosophies, to let us all put our policies first for the good of America.
