Barbara Mikulski: “Thank you, Chairwoman Murray, as well as you, Senator Mikulski, on your insight concerning the Federal Transit…”

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

I want to recognize her for her leadership in that.

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

As the longest serving woman in congressional history, I proudly stand on the shoulders of the suffragists who fought bravely and boldly for generations to secure women's political equality.
