On the recordNovember 29, 2016
Madam President, I want to commend Senator Whitehouse for his 150th climate speech. It takes a lot of passion, a lot of research, and a lot of focus to be willing to stay on one topic in the Senate for that many consecutive speeches. There are a lot of things that are important in the Senate and it is easy to get distracted, but Senator Whitehouse remains steadfast, focused, and passionate, and history will show that Sheldon Whitehouse was right and is right. I am proud to be his colleague.
