On the recordDecember 7, 2006
I rise in joining my colleagues tonight in recognizing the service of Lane Evans. Lane is one of those people who came to Congress willing to work and not very interested in getting much attention or claiming much credit. All the work he did demonstrated his beliefs that we are here not to make a name for ourselves, but to make life better for the people who make this country strong. He was an advocate for the American worker and an advocate for the American Veteran. Since 1995 when Lane became Ranking Member of the House Committee Veterans Affairs, no one has tried harder to honor our obligations to those who have served our Country in uniform. Like the lighthouses on the Great Lakes, Lane has been a beacon of wisdom. When you follow Lane Evans, you know you are going in the right direction. In addition, he is just a first rate human being. I wish him well and offer my sincere gratitude for his service.
