Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 29, 1997
I did not know Walter Capps very well. I served on the Committee on Science with him, and I found him to be a very honorable, fair, gentle man who cared about issues, who was dedicated to public service, to his country, his community, his friends, and indeed to his family. I offer my condolences to his family. He is a man who is also very bipartisan in terms of being very fair. He will be missed by this Chamber. He will be missed by his district, by his friends, and by his family. As Thornton Wilder said, "There is a land of the living and a land of the dead and the bridge is love, the only survival, the only meaning." I think that Walter Capps will live on in love.
