“I would like to add my words as well to a brief tribute to our majority leader. We would not be a majority if it was not for Dick Armey. There are many people who know that. Unfortunately, there are too many people who do not know that. His work and his labor oftentimes is done behind the scenes and oftentimes I think many people, many people are allowed to take the credit because of his work. I think it was Ronald Reagan that said that if you are willing to share the credit, you can get anything done in Washington, or something like that, and Dick Armey has always been willing to share the credit, to allow somebody to move up, to be elevated, to get their work done, to facilitate a dream on their behalf. His famous phrase or his motto has always been 'Freedom works,' and it does work. America works because freedom works, and America is better off because of the freedom that Dick Armey has come to fight for in the Congress of the United States.”
