On the recordOctober 12, 1998
I was lucky, Joe, because I had some more advice than the average freshman when I came here to Congress. And you alluded to it when you talked about the fact that there was already a Kennedy in Congress here and I was lucky to have Joe in Congress here when I came here, because when you were talking about Joe and the great expectations that he had to rise to when he was elected here to the Congress, and you really set it up very well, what he was up against when he first was elected, the notion that he was following in such a historic seat as the 8th congressional seat, that he was following the Speaker of the House, that he was following in my family's legacy of public service, it was a daunting task. But luckily for me, I had Joe to break the ice for me when I came to the Congress. And Joe, when I got down here on the floor, he told me a few things to do and not to do, when I was looking out to start my career in the Congress.
