Henry Brown: “it is a pleasure to have the honor to help receive my great friend…”

On the recordDecember 19, 2001

it is a pleasure to have the honor to help receive my great friend today. Joe Wilson and I started our careers in the legislature about the same time. We served 16 years together, he in the Senate, I in the House. In fact, he was a good Senator to work with. I am proud to have him as my friend. Joe and his wife, Roxanne, became good friends of my family, and I have had the pleasure of watching his children grow up. It is a pleasure to be here today, Joe, to welcome you to this great body. It is a pleasure to have the opportunity to serve with you again. I welcome you to the U.S. Congress.
