“I want to thank my friend and colleague from North Dakota, who works nonstop for the people of her State. We often talk about making sure the things we do in the Senate reward hard work, that they stand up for hard work, that they are focused on making sure there is a fair deal for those, as I mentioned before, who go to work in the dark, who work all day and all evening, and who come home in the dark, and on making sure we keep our word in regard to pensions related to them--to the people who have worked 30, 40 years. My colleague from Michigan, Senator Peters, has always been at the forefront of making sure we keep our word, that we do what is right, and that we stand up for the working men and women of Michigan and our country. I yield to the Senator from Michigan.”
