Todd Tiahrt: “Yesterday Senate majority leader Robert J. Dole became a private citizen. He left us in Congress a legacy of integrity…”

On the recordJune 12, 1996
Yesterday Senate majority leader Robert J. Dole became a private citizen. He left us in Congress a legacy of integrity, honesty and character. Character is something that you develop when no one is around, as Senator Dole did in his service to his country during World War II and the 39 months that followed as he struggled to regain his ability to walk. Honesty is something that he has provided to the American public even when it was unpopular. Integrity is something Senator Dole has undergone with three decades of public scrutiny and three presidential campaigns. He has worked hard throughout that time to do the right thing. Mr. Speaker, we will miss Senator Dole on the Hill, but we will welcome him with open arms as he moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
