On the recordMarch 4, 1999
Mr. Speaker, while it is true I did not have the opportunity to serve concurrently with Mo Udall, the fact is, evidence of his service in this institution abounds, not only in family members who have joined us in the 106th Congress and family members who are here to celebrate Mo's memory, but also in constituents from my district. I had the privilege, Mr. Speaker, of coming to this Chamber this afternoon with young people from the Navaho nation, from Pinon, Shonto, who are here to learn more about Washington. Their presence here and the comments of a colleague from this floor just the other day in an informal setting really, I think, served to provide a tribute to Mo Udall, because a congressional colleague said, ``You folks from Arizona really stick together.'' Indeed, as we look at the rich legislative legacy offered by Mo Udall, it is worth noting that members of my party, John Rhodes, Barry Goldwater, others got together to ask, ``What is good for Arizona and good for America?'' Now lest my colleagues think that we sing from the same page of the hymnal on every occasion, of course not. But we champion those differences. That is what Morris K. Udall embodied, an ability to clearly and candidly express differences, unafraid.
