Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I thank my colleague for presiding over this remarkable series of tributes. It has been a memorable evening--more than I could have anticipated--in the array of colleagues who have paid tribute and in the kind of emotions stirred in all of us, I think, by the memory of a good friend and a good man, but also a sense of the values and the affection that binds us together here. It is too bad, perhaps, that it took an occasion of this sort to bring this out. But I will never forget it, and we will never forget Walter Jones and what he meant to all of us, so I thank the gentlewoman so much.”
