Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I look forward to 25 years of progress, but not 25 years more here in the Senate."

"I hear their voices, and I think of them. I still have nightmares about some of the things I saw."

"I want to commend Senator Mikulski, who is the Chairwoman of the Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Subcommittee."

"I think it is fortunate we have these programs. Certainly I wish there was no need for them."
