Political Quotes

“we are all heavily dependent on our staffs and the support people around here. We are dependent on the pages and the people who take down our words and the people who tell us what is pending, the people who guard this establishment and the elevator operators and many others. Each of us who is a Member of the Senate, we are heavily dependent on our staff. We may get the publicity, but we know who has done the work. I have been fortunate in having a superb staff, really dedicated people. One of the people I have had with me for a long time, with whom I have worked, is Ray Johnsen. I went to college with Ray Johnsen, a small liberal arts college in Nebraska, a very fine school, Dana College, in Blair, NE. After I left the school, I got into the newspaper business and asked Ray Johnsen to join me there. He did. Then when I got into government he joined me in my government work. He has just been a superb public servant. He has not received the attention that we receive as Members of the Senate, but he has been a public servant just as much as those of us who serve in the Senate.”
