Political Quotes

I rise just to acknowledge, speaking for myself and I think a great majority of Senators on both sides of the aisle, and commend our distinguished Republican leader for the leadership he has given this body and, indeed, for the leadership he has given the United States during this most unusual period of the budget. As I read the numerous columns, listen to the press throughout the Nation, I think due recognition is given to our distinguished leader for his role. Mr. President, I also wish to say that in my own State and in the adjoining areas of the greater metropolitan area of Washington, other chapters of leadership are being written by citizens who are pouring out to help others who might not be as fortunate as a consequence of this storm.

Also, I know there are many stories about people helping others, in all types of extreme circumstances with this unusual storm.
