Political Quotes

let me first acknowledge my good friend and my colleague Chuck Grassley, who has just paid tribute to a member of his staff who has served for more than 30 years. I don't know her personally, but we can tell his words were heartfelt and could tell of his appreciation for her public service. On behalf of the Senate, I want to thank her and all of the staff people who make our careers possible. As talented as we may think we are, we wouldn't be anywhere without staffers who are determined to serve the people and serve us. His tribute to his chief of staff--chief of everything, as he described her--was certainly heartfelt from a man I know is a very sincere and positive individual. I just wanted to say those words.
