Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I want to take a moment to honor a friend and colleague, Senator Bob Bennett, who will be moving on from the Senate after 18 years of service to the people of Utah. Bob has had a long and impressive career. Out of college, he served for several years in the Utah National Guard and worked as a congressional liaison for the Department of Transportation. Turning next to the private sector, he worked for 20 years in public relations and later in the technology field. He put that experience to good use once elected to the Senate, using his high-tech know-how to chair the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem, serve on the Senate Republican High-Tech Task Force, and work on issues from broadband infrastructure development to cyber security. Utah and North Dakota have many things in common. Both are largely rural States with unique needs that often go unrecognized by those who live in densely-populated areas. Senator Bennett should be proud that he has been a vocal and consistent supporter of funding for Utah's farmers and ranchers, veterans, rural health care institutions, military installations, and roads, highways, and mass-transit infrastructure. I know that Utah has many reasons to be grateful for what Bob Bennett's hard work on the Appropriations Committee has brought to the State over the years.…”
