“I certainly hope that, and I am sure someone is doing it, will videotape what is going on here today so that Hunter Scott will have an opportunity to see the honor which has been paid to him by all of us, and to him I want to make sure he understands that we take his cause very, very seriously, that we honor him because he is right. We honor him because he has stood up for what he knew to be right. We honor him because he has brought Republicans and Democrats together to right a wrong. And we want to make sure that as he goes throughout his life, and he continues on this wonderful journey called life, that he is strengthened and encouraged by us. We have not given up just as he has not given up. And I leave these simple words from the Bible with him, and I hope that they will be ingrained in the DNA of every cell of his body until he dies, and they are simply these: They what wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall rise up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. To Hunter I say: Thank you so much for giving so much. Thank you so much for bringing us together around a cause. Thank you so much for being sensitive to a family, a family that still grieves for they know that their loved one has been wronged. Thank you so much for coming to the Congress of the United States of America and presenting that research to us.”
