Jon Fox said "my fellow colleagues, I would be remiss if I did not also give special mention to the Honorable William Clinger, who has served this House with distinction, most recently as the chairman of the Government Reform and Oversight Committee where he has in a very bipartisan manner, a very judicious manner, he has been the individual who has overseen the hearings that deal with Whitewater and Filegate and various other matters that are very sensitive to the United States. I think the people of central Pennsylvania were privileged to have someone of his class, his distinction, and his honor serving us here in this body, and to Bill Clinger and his family, well deserved retirement, but he was a role model for many of us in Congress and he will be sorely missed." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
