“I hate to see Hank Brown leave because he is leaving after 6 years in the Senate. He has made such a valuable contribution to this body. He has just been a real asset, not only to the budgeteers, but he is a person who does his homework, he is a person who digs into the numbers, a person who is innovative, very intelligent--very bright--who finds a better way to do something, who is always working on trying to do something good for our country, to save some money, a fiscal conservative who is effective, who not only makes speeches--and in my opinion one of the best speakers we have in this body--but one of the most effective persons because he is the type of person that has the intelligence and the wherewithal to put together a budget package, and the type of person who can come up with amendments that can be enacted into law. He will certainly be missed by this Senator and I think all Senators.”
