“I join my colleagues honoring Senator Johnny Isakson of Georgia who is retiring from this body. He is a dear friend and a great example of a great Senator. Johnny and I have worked together on a number of public health priorities. I had the privilege of serving with Johnny on the Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee.

It was a work Johnny led with such distinction.…”
