“Thank you, John Myers, for a very moving and eloquent and appropriate tribute to our good friend Congressman Quillen. I do want to mention before Congressman Myers leaves that all of us know that Congressman Quillen has for many years sat in the second seat on the second row right here, the main seat that has always been featured on C-SPAN, so when I first got here, I developed a habit of sitting next to Congressman Quillen, and Don Sundquist sat there in the same row of seats, Don Sundquist, who is now our Governor of Tennessee. John Myers has always sat in the first seat on this second row. So one night we told him that this was a Tennessee row and that if he was going to sit there, we had to induct him in and swear him in as an honorary Tennessean. So we made him raise his right hand, and we paid John Myers the ultimate compliment and made this loyal Hoosier an honorary Tennessean. So thank you very much for your remarks about Congressman Quillen and thank you for your service, your great service to this country.”
