Political Quotes

“it is my sad duty today to report the death of a very good friend of this House, Jonna Lynne Cullen. J.L., as we called her, was a special staff member who served this Nation for many, many years as a staff member to Trent Lott in the Committee on Rules; she worked this House in many different ways. I got to know her when I began to serve at the Office of Management and Budget under President Reagan, where she was the first director of the Office of Legislative Affairs, the first woman director of that office. Several weeks ago there were a number of Members on both sides of the aisle that held a special tribute to her. A similar tribute was held on the Senate floor. Both Majority Leader Lott, Senator Cochran, Senator Snowe, and Senator Dorgan were involved, with very kind words for a woman with a very distinguished career. I would like to announce that there will be a special tribute to her this Friday in the Russell caucus room at 11 o'clock for her friends and family. Saturday there will be a service, a memorial service, at the Presbyterian Church in Georgetown at 2 o'clock. I just want to wish her family well.”
