Connie Morella: “I don't need to introduce this gentleman. You all know him. But I do…”

I don't need to introduce this gentleman. You all know him. But I do want to say that he does exemplify what Ray LaHood has said about bipartisanship and drinking the waters of central Illinois. The bipartisan spirit in which Bob Michel is held was recently exemplified at a 90th birthday party held for him. At that birthday party, the Democrats came in, the Republicans came in, and all the former leaders came in. It was a wonderful opportunity to see how this man is so respected and what he exemplifies. As we've already given the tribute, it's up to you now to say something. He gave a great speech. Mr. LaHOOD. Say a word or two.
