“I am pleased, as a member of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., an international woman's sorority, to stand here to salute my soror, the Honorable gentlewoman from Florida (Mrs. Meek). It has been wonderful to have an opportunity to serve in the House of Representatives with her. We had a wonderful chance to talk about the great Delta days, about Bethune College, about basketball. In fact, recently she and I coached the Congressional Basketball Team called the Hills Angels as we played the Georgetown law faculty. But more importantly, she is full of history, full of wonder, full of grace; and I am so pleased and blessed to have had the opportunity to serve in the House of Representatives with her, if only for 4 years. I am so pleased that I had a chance to be touched by this wonderful, wonderful woman called Carrie Meek. And I look forward to your further years of service. We will not let you retire. We may let you leave here, but we have other jobs for you, Mrs. Carrie Meek. On behalf of all the Deltas from across the world, 190,000 strong, we salute our soror, Carrie Meek.”
