“Senator Kassebaum will be leaving the Senate after 18 years of outstanding service. Senator Kassebaum is a Senator who is well respected by Democrats and Republicans and is the chairman of the Labor and Human Resources Committee--I might say, a very productive chairman. She has passed a lot of legislation through her leadership. She has been able to work in a bipartisan fashion to get things done. She is a commonsense fiscal conservative who is willing to take on some of the tough issues, who is independent, who is willing to get things done for the good of our country, and certainly the good of her State. Senator Kassebaum is certainly, in my opinion, one of the most decent Senators who has ever served in this body. She will certainly be missed. I thank her for her dedication to Kansas, and also to our country as well.”
