I acknowledge the fine statement that was made by Senator Thomas and thank him for his efforts today to make sure that Senators are aware of the opportunity to come to the floor of the Senate and pay appropriate tribute and recognition, and express the condolences that are so appropriate for that occasion. I want to make sure he was aware of our appreciation.

You've got to do that every now and then. Even though you might get your little flak from some of the people within your conference. It's called leadership.
I think if they would go back to the old way of getting things done, carefully and systematically, would really help them.
