On the recordJune 17, 1997
I want to thank John here on the floor for so many things he did through appropriations, where he was fair. He was not about Republicans and Democrats. He was fair. When one had a problem, and went to him, he understood the nature of those problems, and he sat down and he dealt with everybody fairly. I think that is the best thing one could say about anybody. He is a beautiful man. He was fair, he worked with all of us, he did not play favorites, and I think that is a great testament. Two great guys, Andy Jacobs and John Myers. I am just glad to rise and call them a friend and thank them for having helped my people.
