Political Quotes

“I served with Senator Domenici for my entire time in the Senate on the Appropriations Committee. We worked on the Energy and Water Subcommittee over many years. During most of that time, he was either chairman or I was chairman, and the other one was the ranking member. We traveled the country looking at different facilities that related to the jurisdiction we had. It was a great subcommittee because all the money we had was discretionary, and it was a subcommittee that did so many good things for the country. There were water projects that were long overdue. We set up the safety and reliability of our nuclear arsenal. It was not easy, but we worked through that. Senator Domenici has a tremendously interesting background. Because of my fascination with athletics, and especially baseball, I was stunned to learn this respectable man--who has so much mental acuity and is good with numbers and all this--had started out as a great baseball player.”
