“I came to the floor to speak on another topic, but I want to join in the comments of the Republican leader about Richard Shelby of Alabama. We became friends under different political circumstances when he served in the House of Representatives. It has been my honor to count him as a friend and to have the occasion to travel with him and Annette, his wife, in the past. I am going to miss my friend. I wish you well, and I am sure you have got some football to watch in Alabama when you get home.”
