On the recordOctober 6, 1998

The people of upstate New York are some wonderful, wonderful people, and they represent the best of this great country, and they have exercised their great judgment for the last 20 years in sending us an American original. Mr. Solomon, as the gentlewoman from New York (Mrs. Kelly) said, you are a mentor to many of us. I salute you.
