“I join with the now-junior Senator from Florida--a border State with Georgia--soon to be senior Senator, in commending the now-senior Senator from Florida, Bob Graham. I, too, saw his announcement yesterday. Senator Graham and I have had the opportunity to work on many issues together since our States border each other. He has been a great public servant for this Senate, his State, and for America. He is one of those folks we greatly admire, and we will miss him. I have great respect for Senator Graham. I certainly respect his decision to go back to Florida and enjoy his family. He has a farm in Albany, GA, which is close to my home. We are going to get him over there more often because he and I enjoy bird hunting together. I, too, join with Senator Nelson in commending Senator Graham.”
