On the recordApril 20, 2010
I thank the gentleman for joining and relating those parts of Dr. Hooks' life. He was, as I said, a great orator who took the Southern tradition of politics and the ministry and wove it into a manner of speech that was unrivaled and to his last days could deliver a sermon or a speech that was unparalleled. He will be buried tomorrow at Elmwood Cemetery, where my father is buried and where I suspect I will be buried, and we will spend eternity together. I urge my colleagues to support this important resolution.
