Political Quotes

“I thank the gentleman for his remarks. I also thank my friend for helping us to shepherd it through the House in the last Congress. We didn't get it through the Senate, but it got through the House because of his hands, and I appreciate it. Mr. Speaker, before I yield the floor, following the example of my colleague, I would like to commend an employee, actually an intern, who has worked in our office and has been of great service to us. Because this is an intern, I won't give the full name, but her first name is quite similar to my name. My name is Alexander. Most people know me as Al. Hers is Alex. Alex is with us today. She is a person who, quite frankly, has matured beyond her years and has rendered a great service to our country. Mr. Speaker, I thank Alex very much for her service to our country, and I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________”
