Political Quotes

“I rise as someone who is very sad to be joining my colleagues today. At the same time, I am very proud to have entered the Congress with Walter Capps and to have served on the Committee on Science with him. The Committee on Science is meeting as we are here today. It is meeting about a subject that Walter cared deeply about, and that is science education. Science education is something that we shared a great and common interest in and Walter sat right next to me on the Committee on Science, and I will go back to committee this morning and he will not be there. But I will always remember his wonderful commitment and intellect, the caring that has been talked about this morning. There are so many common themes and words that we are hearing from colleagues this morning about our friend, Walter Capps. His sense of humor. His strength. His quietness. His caring. His dedication. He is a gentleman who worked very, very hard on behalf of his constituents and cared and was so proud of his wonderful family. My heart goes out to them as we grieve together and celebrate having had the opportunity to serve with him.”
