I am proud that you are my friend. Thank you. You, Dan Kildee, bear a great family name. Your uncle was my dear friend. I am satisfied that he is going to be very, very proud of you, and I am grateful for your friendship. I want to thank my old friend Gene Green from Texas for his kind words about me.

She has made me proud that she is here. She is a great lady and full of goodness.
