On the recordDecember 12, 2014
I want to take a moment to thank Carl Levin for his friendship. It has been previously noted that Carl is recognized as having perhaps the greatest intellect in the Senate. Carl has been, for so many years, a forceful fighter against waste in the military, and in recent years he has led the Senate in telling us it is absurd that large multinational corporations are able to avoid hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes by storing their money in offshore tax savings. He has been a leader on that and for those of us who are concerned about the needs of our kids and elderly and infrastructure, all of the terrible problems facing this country, this is an issue we have to focus on. I think Senator Carl Levin has been a Senator's Senator. He has been a model of what a good Senator should be, and it is not surprising that people from all political persuasions will come to the floor to thank him for his service. Senator Levin, thank you very much for your time. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.
