“And in law when a person's reputation and character is put on display for a jury, it is the reputation as they're known throughout the community. And in this community of Washington, there are no two people who are thought of more highly and more revered for their charitable works and their friendship than John Dingell and his lovely bride, Debbie. So it's with those issues, the purpose for which he was elected in which he served for this House and for this country. And when he closed his remarks yesterday in the great Rotunda at a celebration honoring him, he closed by saying, ``God bless the United States of America.'' I think it was perfect for Mr. Dingell because he loves this country, and that's why he served so long and so well. So I join everybody and ask you to join in voting for this resolution.”
