Political Quotes

“our distinguished colleague, Senator Grams, will go on to, I hope, an even greater challenge. What a privilege it has been for me and I think all in this Chamber to have had his service for a few years. I was particularly impressed by Senator Grams' willingness to take on assignments which others felt they would rather not have because of the challenge--particularly on the Foreign Relations Committee and those relating to Africa, those relating to the United Nations, and issues which are very vital not only to our Nation but to the whole world. I wish to commend the Senator. I hope that he will continue to apply his talents and his wisdom and energy to solving those difficult challenges. I recently visited the U.N. with Ambassador Holbrooke. Time and time again, I was in consultation with him and other ambassadors from other nations in regard to the budget situation. Senator Grams was instrumental in the landmark piece of legislation, Helms-Biden. I hope he will continue to apply his talents. I wish Senator Grams and his family well.”
