On the recordJuly 22, 2010
I cherish those memories. I was honored to stand with him 20 years ago. I am honored to stand with him again today. I cherish the friendship we have developed over all those years. The Senator from Utah is a true friend, not only personally but also professionally, and he has always lent his weight and his seniority and his expertise in the Senate to making sure people with disabilities have that same equal opportunity and equal access. I think maybe both of us, because of our brothers who were disabled, were affected greatly. I think it imbued us both with a spirit of working hard to make sure people with disabilities had all the access and all the opportunities everybody else enjoyed. I thank my friend for his statement, and, more than that, I thank him for his great support of people with disabilities through all of his lifetime.
