Political Quotes

“I rise to acknowledge the service of an extraordinary public servant who is retiring at the end of next week, Robert ``Bob'' Sunshine. Congress depends on the expertise and hard work of our valued staff and supporting agencies. After 48 years of exemplary service to the Congressional Budget Office, spanning virtually the entirety of the agency's existence, few staffers have done more to serve this institution and the American people than Bob Sunshine. As President pro tempore of the Senate, as well as the chair of the Appropriations Committee and former chair of the Budget Committee, I thank and commend Bob for his many decades of excellent public service to CBO and the Congress and wish him and his family all the best in his much-deserved retirement. I ask my colleagues to join me in thanking Bob for his dedication and service to us and the American people. ____________________”
