On the recordMay 17, 1994
I thank the gentleman from Colorado. He and I have talked often about his Kentucky roots, and we are always happy to have our colleagues here who either know our State or, in your case, actually have a contact with it, and I think you are exactly right. Passing that car, as I sometimes pass the locker of the gentleman from Kentucky, Mr. Natcher, it does remind me of how important he was to this place and how vivid his memory really is and how hard it is for us to say about Bill in the past tense. I think for a long time to come those Members among us who served with him for a length of time will probably always consider Bill in a kind of present tense way, which I think is maybe the greatest testimonial to the kind of human he really was.
