Orrin Hatch: “I have great faith in Ted Kennedy as a person who will fight back with the faith and prayers of all of us in the Senate…”

“I have great faith in Ted Kennedy as a person who will fight back with the faith and prayers of all of us in the Senate and millions of others across the country. I believe Ted will be able to come back, and he will come back, and I believe he will be able to whip this problem. I am going to exert all the faith and prayers I possibly can to help him do it. I agree with the distinguished Senator, whenever any of us encountered great difficulty, he was always the first to call. We have worked together on so many pieces of legislation, landmark legislation, that I wish to personally compliment him for being willing to cross the aisle in so many ways and to work out difficulties.”
