“I could not help but come in and join you, associate myself with your remarks for Bob, because I worked with him both in the House and the Senate. I agree with everything you said. He did so much to assist all of us who wanted to benefit those in the most needy situations. I agree with you. If it wasn't for him--and also of course Patricia Morrissey on my side, those two who worked so very closely together all during that period of time--we would not have accomplished so much. Bobby was incredible. I know he is going to have even, perhaps, a more useful role now that the basic work is done in the profession he is going into. But he is one wonderful person. You are to be commended for recognizing that and utilizing him, of course, to benefit all of us. I thank the Senator for his comments.”
