On the recordDecember 9, 2016
Madam President, after a quarter of a century, Senator Glenn left the Senate, and here is what he said: ``Yeah, I'll miss it, sure. But you move on to other things. That's it.'' That was John Glenn. He moved on to other things. Until a couple of years ago, he flew his own airplane. When he was a Member of the Senate, he flew back to Columbus, OH. I think that is where he went. Every time he wanted to go, he didn't take commercial; he flew his own airplane. So I express my condolences to Annie. I admire the inspiration she has been to everybody who has ever known her. Of course, John Glenn, I repeat, is an icon of the Senate, an icon of the military, an icon of the space program, an icon in life, and a wonderful human being. I yield the floor. ____________________
