oh, how I wish that the American public had the same image of the Congress of the United States that the Members of Congress have of Mr. Natcher. What an honor it was to have served in the Congress of the United States for 19 rac{1}{2}\ years with the perfect gentleman from Kentucky. I always knew I had an ally when I went before the Appropriations Committee fighting for child nutrition and education moneys. I always knew that what Mr. Natcher said, Mr. Natcher did. Beyond his dedicated service as a Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, was the magnificent human being from Kentucky. I can remember when dad left Congress, he said he won't miss the job but he will certainly miss his friends. I certainly miss and will miss Congressman Bill Natcher; as I know will be true of his family, who he loved so much and talked about so often. Well done my good and faithful servant.
