Political Quotes

“the legislation which I introduced which is now under consideration has been co-sponsored by every member of the Ohio congressional delegation. It would permanently name the Dayton, Ohio, Federal building in honor of our good friend, and colleague until very recently, Tony Hall. For years Tony Hall and I worked in a partnership for the benefit of the citizens of the Miami Valley on numerous projects and initiatives. I am very happy that he can now work directly on hunger issues in the United Nations, but it was still a very sad day for this Congress and the Miami Valley to see him leave. Tony was an All-American when he was in college, Peace Corps volunteer, a noted traveler especially in checking on hunger, a devoted husband and father, and a dedicated public servant. Tony was the area's longest-serving Congressman and a three-time Nobel Peace Prize nominee known worldwide for his humanitarian work. In Congress Tony was always guided by faith and family. He spent 21 years on the House Committee on Rules, was chairman of the House Democratic Caucus Task Force on Hunger, and was founder and chairman of the Congressional Hunger Center. We are all better people today because Tony Hall is in Congress, and the world is going to be a lot better off now that Tony Hall is working in the United Nations on all of our behalf and people of the world all over.”
