On the recordFebruary 22, 2010
As most Members of this Chamber know, we recently lost a dear friend and colleague. Congressman Jack Murtha passed away on February 8 after complications from gallbladder surgery. Jack recently became the longest-serving Member of Congress from Pennsylvania ever. Jack was dedicated to his country, our military troops, and the people of Pennsylvania that he represented for 36 years. He will be greatly missed by our delegation, our State, and the entire Nation. In closing, I respectfully request a moment of silence in memory of our dear friend, Jack Murtha.
