I wanted the entire resolution to be read in the Record because I did want a complete record of the appreciation of the entire Senate for Gary Sisco who has served so capably over the past 5 years as the Secretary of the Senate. I appreciate Senator Daschle joining me for this time because he knows, as I know, that we have some very dedicated officers of the Senate and other employees of our floor staff who put in long hours and do a great job in making this institution function the way it should. We do not say thank you enough to those who serve in the Chamber with us who make it possible for us to do our job, and we do not say thank you enough to the officers of the Senate, people such as the Secretary of the Senate, the Sergeant at Arms, the Chaplain, and others who work every day to help make this place function. I have a very personal warm feeling for Gary Sisco.

A lot of it is because Republicans when they start talking don't talk about education. You have to talk about it. You have to go there, where they are.
