John Warner: “You are taking this position at the request of the President of the United States.”

I do think from the freeze, because the Nation is at war, we need to have more flexibility there.

I want to pick up on a very important point that you made.

You will carry with you for the rest of your life the recollections of the work that you have done for one of America's most valued assets, the men and the women and their families of the armed services of the United States.

You're a man of courage and you take on the tough jobs in that Congress and do the very best you can to achieve working relationships.
