Political Quotes

“Yesterday the Senate passed, at my request, a resolution commending Brett Favre, from my State, who was named earlier this week as the most valuable player in the National Football League. Brett, as Senators know, is the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers. When I introduced the resolution, I did so on my behalf and Trent Lott, as a cosponsor. I learned, after adopting the resolution, that the two distinguished Senators from Wisconsin wanted their names to be added as cosponsors of the resolution. I looked at the Record and it does reflect that later in the Record. I wanted to make a point of saying that I had not received that information at the time the resolution was submitted and passed by the Senate. I was going to ask unanimous consent that the distinguished Senators Herb Kohl and Russ Feingold be added as cosponsors, but that is reflected in the Record. So I am pleased that they joined us in the resolution commending and congratulating Brett Favre for the great honor that he received.”
