Political Quotes

“I wanted to be here tonight because I think so highly of Doug and Louise Bereuter. I have had the privilege of traveling with Doug and Louise, Betty and I have for the last 8 or 10 years, to the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, which is arguably now in this age of worldwide global terrorism, one of the stronger links that we have with Europe, one of the most important relationships we have with respect to international cooperation and international help as it relates to our foreign policy. I must tell Members, I know Doug has been a terrific representative for the people of Nebraska while he has served here in the House, but he has made an enormous contribution to this country. His diplomacy and his ability to relate with legislators, parliamentarians from other countries around the world, and particularly in the time that I have been with him in Europe, is something that is going to be sorely, sorely missed. Doug Bereuter has made a contribution presently serving as President of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.”
