On the recordNovember 20, 2004
I want to say on the record to my friend, the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, how appreciative I am, how thankful I am, how grateful I am for all he does, for his guidance in putting together a huge package that deals with big things but doesn't forget little things. Sometimes the little things are big things. In this case, this somewhat little thing--little in the scope of a $388 billion bill, but big for two young men who have suffered so much--would not have happened without the help and the direction of the chairman of the Appropriations Committee.
