“First of all, there is not a whole lot that needs to be said that hasn't been said, but one thing I want to say to my dear friend Tom Coburn is that he made Washington happen for me, if you will. He made it more tolerable. I had a hard time in transitioning. Tom reached out. He saw that. We talked about this before, but Tom made this place more palatable. Tom, you have expanded my area of friendships with more people than you know and the right type of people, and I appreciate it I think more than you even know. I will end with this, and I don't mean to say a lot. I have been asked about Tom Coburn. How would I explain him? Tom Coburn's got soul. Tom Coburn's got soul. And I mean that from the bottom of my heart, brother. You have soul, and I thank you for what soul you brought to this place. God bless. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Arizona.”
