Political Quotes

“as a member of the Ohio delegation, I have been proud to call Tony Hall ``leader.'' He has led our delegation with dignity and honor, and he has brought to this House a grace, a wisdom, and a compassion which has filled up this House. It is a work of mercy to feed the hungry, and Tony's life has been about showing mercy and about bringing together resources to make sure that hungry people would be fed in this country and around the world. When Tony saw a challenge, where hungry people did not have their needs met, Tony put himself on the line physically to challenge the sensibilities of our Nation and the world. So it is no surprise that President Bush would tap him to be our ambassador to the world on issues of food and issues of hunger. In his new capacity, Ambassador Tony Hall will be the one who people will look to from all over the world to deal with the challenges of world hunger.”
