John Joseph Moakley: “I feel strongly that the CDC should actively pursue a public information campaign to meet the rapid growth in public…”

He lived every day of his life committed to improving his community, and to fostering opportunities not only for his own children and grandchildren, but for his neighbors through his tireless public service.

Is this the bill that we will eventually work on, unlike the budget that we are voting on today that was constructed at 3 o'clock this morning without anybody testifying on it?

I rise this afternoon to remember a very dear friend and to mark the six month anniversary of his passing, April 23, 1999.

Although his is no longer with us in person, his kindness, his spirit, and his good works will be remembered forever.
