Harry Reid: “He was a unique individual, as you said. He walked in, put on that…”

On the recordFebruary 27, 2003

He was a unique individual, as you said. He walked in, put on that sweater, with that very bad voice that we all remember. The reason I wanted to interrupt the Senator before he went to the closing script is this has been a contentious week in the Senate, and I could not think of a more peaceful man to end the week than Fred Rogers. So I appreciate very much the Senator coming to the floor as quickly as he did, upon the death of this wonderful man, and ending the Senate today with memories of a peacemaker.
