Olympia Snowe: “We urged the President to restore the SBA Administrator to cabinet level status, where it rightfully belongs.”

I rise today in remembrance of an extraordinary man, an exceptional public servant, and a dear friend, Senator Warren B. Rudman. As the U.S. Senate, the people of New Hampshire, and the entire Nation mourn his loss, I wish to add my voice…

the SUCCESS Act, which is pending now, received 57 votes before we left.

I do want to acknowledge the bipartisan effort and support for the E-Rate Program by Chairman Rockefeller and Maine's original E-Rate champion, Olympia Snowe.

Thank you. I will be a fast talker. And I want to thank all of you for your very impressive testimony.
