On the recordSeptember 16, 2003
But I have to state that the more time that goes by in terms of my service in Congress, the more I live in fear that in each one of those days I am taken a little bit farther away from what the person in my district thinks. When people sit around their kitchen table at night, not when they sit here in this Chamber among all of us in this closed atmosphere, but when they are back in my district of Hawaii, when they are back in Honoka'a and Ele'ele and Kahului, and when they look over those 5,000 miles of what is happening here in Washington, D.C. what do they think? And I live in fear that I am falling out of touch with them the more time that I spend here.
