Lincoln Chafee: “I share those sentiments. I have noticed that the Presiding Officer…”

On the recordMarch 9, 1998

I share those sentiments. I have noticed that the Presiding Officer who is in the seat now, the distinguished Senator from Maine, as you say, follows the debate. Now, she may be thinking about something else, but you wouldn't know it, and, as a matter of fact, she has indicated approval of many of the things I have said, at least it looks that way. So I think it is wonderful that she has won this great award. I hope she will not give up now. What can she aspire to? How are we going to keep her in this chair?
