“I want to recognize one key staff member whose last day in the Senate is today and that is Brian Pomper. He has worked in my Senate office since March 2003. He has served as my chief trade counsel over the past 2 years. In that time, Brian has been at the center of each and every trade initiative that has passed through this Congress. He has worked tirelessly and fairly with Members and staff of both parties in both Houses, and he has bridged gaps that have seemed insurmountable. He is very intelligent, very conscientious, and one of the most decent persons I have ever had the privilege to know. Brian Pomper will be sorely missed in the Senate.”
