"I will nominate John P. Condon, of Tulsa, Okla., to be Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United States to the Dominion of Fiji."

"We really have worked on this all year."

"I hate to be overly modest, but most of my successes this past year... I can attribute to my friendship with the Speaker."

"I never knew what a roast was until I came to Washington."
