“I just want to say as these two gentleman leave the Chamber after years of distinguished service, when I came here as a freshman in 1993, they were among the first two leaders I met, and I remember the gentleman from Indiana, John Myers, when we were going up to what was called the Princeton Conference, but should have been called Plainsboro because that is where it was, I remember he said on the way, "Don't let anyone tell you how to vote, including me," and I have not forgotten that, and I have followed his wisdom, and I can remember the distinguished chairman at that time, the gentleman from Alabama, [Mr. Bevill] who was nice enough when he met me to take me back to his office, offered me a cup of tea and introduced me to his wife, and both of these gentleman are the type of hard-working legislators, they do not always hit the headlines, they are both very civil gentleman, and they are the key and the core of what makes the Congress of the United States work.”
