“Is the Senator aware that Patrick Moynihan was born and raised in my city of Tulsa? He was the first one when I came here--not to the Senate but to the other body--to whom I came over to talk. We developed a very close relationship. Someone could wonder, how could this be--you have one who is a dedicated liberal, one who is a dedicated conservative, having that affection. When I was elected to this body in 1994, his office was next door to me. I confess right now before all these people, when the bells rang for a vote, I would go and look down the hall and wait until Daniel Patrick Moynihan was coming up so I could walk and talk with him on the way over. He was just a remarkable person. There is a lot of dedication to him in what we are doing today.”
