Mr. President, Senator Tester and I wish to recognize the 30th anniversary of the Maureen and Mike Mansfield Foundation. Nearly 30 years ago Congress passed legislation authorizing funds for a foundation honoring Mike Mansfield. Mike was the pride of Montana, and represented the State in the U.S. Congress from his election to the House of Representatives in 1942 to his retirement from the Senate in 1977. Mike Mansfield once said he reached the height of his political aspirations when he was elected senator from Montana. Montanans remember him fondly as a national leader who put Montana first.
