I want to talk about Congresswoman Patsy Mink, who recently passed away in Hawaii. Patsy Mink is known for many things, but I know her as a Patsy Mink who was filled with righteous indignation and anger against injustice... We are going to miss Patsy Mink because she was a lady with great righteous indignation against injustice. She was angry at the kind of callous approach to human welfare that was exhibited too many times on the floor of this Congress.
