Political Quotes

On the recordApril 14, 1994
It was 25 years ago today that the distinguished Republican leader, Senator Dole, delivered his maiden speech to the Senate. He spoke eloquently on that day, April 14, 1969, about persons with disabilities. And it has been in no small measure due to Senator Dole's energies in this area that America has made such great progress in ridding itself of the various forms of exclusion to which disabled persons were once so widely subjected. The Senator from Kansas brings those same remarkable energies to everything he does, making him an inimitable ally, and, on occasion, a fearsome opponent. I congratulate the distinguished Republican leader on a quarter century of incomparable service in the U.S. Senate.
