Political Quotes

“On December 5, 2000, the Association once again sponsored a ``Life After Congress'' seminar, a program we have traditionally organized for the benefit of Members leaving Congress. During the seminar, former Members Larry LaRocco, Jack Buechner, Martin Lancaster, Henson Moore, Fred Grandy and I shared our experiences about the adjustments we had to make when we left Congress and how we managed to seek and pursue careers in a variety of fields. Congressional spouse Leslie Hayes described how members of families of former Members cope with leaving Congress and beginning a new life. In addition, congressional support staff outlined the services available to former Members of Congress. As in the past, the seminar was followed by a reception sponsored by the Association's Auxiliary to afford more time for informal exchanges. Mr. Speaker, beyond the events we organize here, the Association is very active in sponsoring programs that are international in scope.”
