Political Quotes

“I wish to take this opportunity to pay tribute to the Senator from California for the really marvelous work she has done in bringing the Senate's attention to the children's initiative and the problems of children in this country through including it in this budget resolution as presently before us today. I also want to express my appreciation to my friend from California for being such a valuable and productive member of the Senate Budget Committee. We have gone through some very historic times, Madam President, in the Senate over the past year-and-a-half as far as the budget is concerned. We have enacted a deficit reduction package of really monumental proportion. We are now seeing how the salutary effects of that are working its way through our economy. The Senator from California was a leader in getting that done. I want to pay tribute to her today for her help and her support, indeed her leadership, in moving this deficit reduction through the Senate last year and for her support this year on the budget resolution.”
