On the recordJune 22, 1998
I wish to conclude this debate by just simply saying how much I appreciate the work that the staff has done on my side of the aisle. Liz Dawson, Hank Moore and Mary Arnold have done yeoman's work for years on this subcommittee and certainly have made my job easy. On the Democratic side, Tom Forhan and Irene Schecter. We deeply appreciate the work that each of our staff does. They serve the gentleman from North Carolina and myself very well. I really appreciate the Members who have come to the floor on both sides of the aisle and expressed their feelings about the character and the service of the gentleman from North Carolina, and I certainly wish to relate myself to those remarks. He has been a remarkable Member. I have deep love and affection for him and for the work he has done for the country.
