Timothy Roemer: “I think the people of New Albany are particularly proud today. I think the people of Indiana are particularly proud…”

On the recordSeptember 24, 2001
I think the people of New Albany are particularly proud today. I think the people of Indiana are particularly proud today. I know the people in the United States are particularly proud today of honoring our home State leader, Lee Hamilton, and his wife, Nancy, and his family for the 34 years that they gave to this country with his insight, his common sense, his civility, and his fortitude and courage. It is altogether fitting and appropriate that a U.S. courthouse and a Federal building be named after Lee Hamilton, a U.S. courthouse in that Lee Hamilton guided this Nation during the Iran-Contra hearings and provided a very, very tight grasp of the law and applied that law firmly and fairly and helped us get through some difficult moments and times.

I want to emphasize that we can quantify results in a number of ways, but there is one metric we can't account for, and that is the number of lives that have been saved.
