Harry Reid: “Today is the graduation of the pages. There will be a ceremony at 10 o'clock honoring them in remembrance of their stay…”

On the recordJanuary 26, 2007
Today is the graduation of the pages. There will be a ceremony at 10 o'clock honoring them in remembrance of their stay in the Capitol. The pages do invaluable work, and they have for many years. I depend upon them personally all the time. They do a lot of things that are unnoticed. In fact, almost everything they do goes almost unnoticed, but they are vitally important. They do many things, and over the decades we have come to rely upon them. I want them to know, as well as the people watching today, how the pages are an integral part of this great institution.

Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
