Political Quotes

“This has not been an easy thing to do, and she has taken some unnecessary and unjust criticism for trying to do the art of the doable here in the Senate. I just want to tell her it has been a privilege to work with her, and I want to make sure that together--and with the help of others--we get this bill through for the benefit of this country and for the benefit of our highways. I know how hard the Senator from California and the distinguished Senator from Oklahoma have worked on the highway bill. So I just want to say I have tremendous respect for the Senator and appreciate her efforts in this regard and want to give kudos to her. Keep it up. We have to get this done.”
