George Voinovich: “One of the things that I am doing is we are negotiating with Senator Carper right now on this legislation.”

I rise today to say farewell to the Senate after 12 years. I would like to take time to convey my heartfelt thanks to all of those who have helped me during my time in the Senate and to reflect briefly on the work we were able to get done…

I also bring to my colleagues' attention a July 14, 2010, letter to Senators Levin, Kerry, McCain, and Lugar, from former commanders of the Strategic Air Command and U.S. Strategic Command. Again, I hope my colleagues will read that…

DERA is one of the most cost-effective clean air Federal programs and it does indeed provide an economic and health benefit of some $13 for every dollar of moneys that are spent.

I want to again thank you, Senator Akaka, for being here today.
