On the recordDecember 22, 2010
I would like to take a few minutes to pay tribute to the 16 Senators who will be departing this body at the end of the year. I am grateful for the opportunity I have had to serve alongside each of these Senators as colleagues and as friends. All served their States with distinction and gave their constituents strong voices in the world's greatest deliberative body. Senators Evan Bayh, Robert Bennett, Kit Bond, Sam Brownback, Jim Bunning, Roland Burris, Chris Dodd, Byron Dorgan, Russ Feingold, Carte Goodwin, Judd Gregg, Ted Kaufman, George LeMieux, Blanche Lincoln, Arlen Specter, and George Voinovich each left an indelible mark on the Senate, and I wish them well as they take on new challenges and opportunities into the future. I would like to speak briefly about a few of the Senators I knew best and served with in committees to recognize their contributions and accomplishments and share my fond memories of them and the legacies they will leave behind.

I am so touched by the comments of my colleague Senator Mikulski about myself and Olympia. I appreciate so much that she has singled us out because Senator Mikulski is a pioneer. She didn't build the pyramids, I might say, but it was…
