While I was awaiting my turn to speak on the floor, I had the opportunity to hear both Senator Boxer and Senator Baldwin. I commend both of them for very excellent and eloquent remarks and thank Senator Baldwin for her courage and conviction. I also know that my dear colleague in the House, Representative David Cicilline, is watching this vote very carefully. We hope we will make him, Senator Baldwin, and so many people around this country proud when we take up this vote tomorrow. ____________________
