On the recordOctober 10, 2013
One of the great pleasures that I have had serving in this august body is the people with whom I have interacted over the years, and one such person is Representative Bill Young. Now, I know that we have a lot of issues to be discussing, and I will be discussing them, but I wanted to take time out today to say how much I appreciate serving with a gentleman whom I have gotten to know, love, and respect. He has been in this body for over 42 years, and I have spent my better than 20 years mostly serving on the Appropriations Committee. It was a great pleasure serving with Bill Young. Bill has said to reporters that he is a bit disappointed in the current state of affairs. He says this is a different Congress. He is right. It is going to be even more so without his great service. ____________________
