Dan Burton: “There has never been a finer Representative than Sam Hall to serve in this body. Sam and I and his lovely wife Madeline…”

On the recordApril 13, 1994
There has never been a finer Representative than Sam Hall to serve in this body. Sam and I and his lovely wife Madeline had an opportunity to take a trip abroad on one of our foreign policy problems a few years back, and I got to know them very, very well. And one of the saddest moments since I have been in Congress was when he decided to leave Congress to become a Federal judge, because he was a real pillar in this body. So I, along with many of my colleagues, would like to extend my sympathy, along with the gentleman from Kentucky [Mr. Mazzoli] to his wife Madeline and his family. We are all going to miss Sam a great deal.
