On the recordMarch 3, 1994
for those of us from Kentucky and, I think, throughout the country, the gentleman from Kentucky [Mr. Natcher] sets a standard for service to this House, as was said by the Speaker. He sets a standard for grace and charm for all of us who might be in public life, and I think he sets a standard, and will continue to set a standard, for those of us who care about those we serve, our constituents, and all we can do is strive toward that standard, but we can never equal it. Mr. Speaker, it will always be a goal we will try to strive for.
