Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 10, 1994
I rise to commend him for this rule. It is a fair rule. It allows a variety of alternatives to be considered and debated by this Congress. But more importantly, I would like to say to the gentleman from South Carolina how much I and the whole House are going to miss him. The work he does on the Committee on Rules is going to be missed. The work he does as an individual member representing his district, it is going to be missed. The work he does as a whip is going to be missed. He is truly one of the Members of this Congress that will leave a big hole, and all of us deeply appreciate the thoughtfulness which he brings and has brought to public service. We look forward to working with him for the balance of the year and wish him well in the future.
