On the recordDecember 16, 2010
I rise today to bid farewell to a number of our friends and colleagues who are ending their service in the Senate. Their contributions are too numerous to mention, therefore I would like to take just a few minutes to highlight some of the memories of the Senators I came to know personally. Some of the departing Senators I have served with for decades. Others were here for only part of a term. All of them worked hard for their constituents and our country. Ted Kaufman Senator Ted Kaufman served for the past 2 years on my Senate Subcommittee on Oversight of Government Management, the Federal Workforce, and the District of Columbia. Throughout Senator Kaufman's time with the subcommittee, he made a remarkable effort to honor the critical work of Federal employees. His regular statements on the Senate floor highlighting their work were an inspiration and I know were greatly appreciated by the dedicated Federal employees in Delaware and across this great Nation.
