Barbara Mikulski: “I thank the Senator from Florida. It is wonderful for both me and Senator Shelby. Senator Nelson is an astronaut…”

I thank the Senator from Florida. It is wonderful for both me and Senator Shelby. Senator Nelson is an astronaut Senator. To hear an astronaut Senator say he thinks we are doing the job right means a lot. The Senate has been blessed by having three astronaut Senators: Senator Jake Garn, a Republican from Utah, Senator John Glenn of Ohio, and Senator Bill Nelson.
