Ron Hindle has done a tremendous job of finding any information that I need and putting it in tremendous format so that it is easily understandable, and even writing it up in words that I can understand. He has been with me the entire time that I have been in the Senate. This is my 11th year. He has done a tremendous job. He worked for Senator Simpson before that. So I welcome him to the floor. Mr. President, in the history of politics, I don't think anyone has ever had their finger on the pulse of the Nation quite like former President Ronald Reagan. Anyone who knew him or heard him speak was instantly warmed by his charm and captivated by his personality. He had a way of expressing himself that enabled him to connect with all of America. He had a unique way of speaking, and that unforgettable Reagan wit let everyone know he was on their side and would do everything he could to make this a better world for us all. I remember one day in particular. It was 1992, and the Republican Convention was going strong. Ronald Reagan approached the podium to give one of his trademark speeches. As he spoke, something told us that this night, this speech, would be different from all the rest. Something told us that we were watching the last major address he would ever give.
