Barbara Mikulski: “Senator Durbin, you really were a stalwart as you stepped forward.”

Your leadership in placing the Women's Suffrage National Monument on the National Mall will expand our Nation's understanding of American women's leadership.

We especially thank Senate Appropriations Chairman Thad Cochran and Vice-Chairwoman Barbara Mikulski for their unwavering support for the NIH.

When constituents come to you, make sure you do not promise results but promise best efforts, that you'll give it your best.

Nothing about me without me.
