“It was Tammy Duckworth who first informed me of Senator Akaka's passing, and it shows God's rhythms of life, the passing of Danny Akaka, after a long service and wonderful life, and now we have just learned of the birth of Tammy Duckworth's child. It is a milestone. Tammy Duckworth, a few hours ago, became the first Senator to give birth while in office. We are very glad to hear that she and her newborn daughter are happy and healthy. ____________________”
