“I want to say a word about my friend, Tom Lantos. I had the opportunity to travel with Tom, and I served with him some 20 years here. Believe me, a giant of a man has fallen. As grief stricken as we are here, we need to know that throughout the world tonight there are people who were touched by Tom Lantos in many ways whose hearts are broken. And to his beloved Annette, and to his daughters and family that he loved so much, we give our great condolences and our love forever.”
