“I have always been very impressed with the Senator from Wisconsin. I may not always agree with him on the issues--but most of the time I do--but one reason I am so impressed with him is he is always so thorough and has such a conviction about the issue of which he speaks. Whether it is an issue dealing with foreign policy or a country the name of which most of us have trouble pronouncing, he understands what is going on in that country and the human rights violations that take place. I never had the opportunity to say publicly to my friend from Wisconsin how impressed I am with his intellectual capabilities and his ability to express them in this Chamber. I do that now and congratulate him.”
