Political Quotes

“This morning, I talked about the Energy bill and the work of Democrats and Republicans to get it passed. I failed--and I apologize--to mention two of the most important people for getting that passed, two staff members. Chris Miller, who works in my office, is such a wonderful, hard-working public servant. Chris is originally from Detroit. He has worked in Congress for 20 years, 18 years with the Senate. He worked for Senator Jeffords and for me on the Environment and Public Works Committee. His work ethic is unsurpassed. He has become a resource for the entire Senate, Democrats and Republicans. During the Energy bill, staff members came to him and some Members themselves came to him, asked where we were. He gave them information as to where we were, where we were going. Chris has a master's degree from the University of Michigan. That is in natural resource management. He has a bachelor's also from the same institution in political science. I told him personally last night, after the bill passed, how much I appreciated his hard work. I want the record spread with the fact that he is an exemplary employee.”
