“it is a great personal pleasure for me to express my congratulations to Ambassador Edward Ghehm, Jr. as the Senate completes its action on his nomination to be Director General of the Foreign Service. I have known Edward Ghehm, or Skip, as his friends call him, since the days when we were in college together. He and I were college roommates for 3 years. Skip has been a brother to me since we first met. I know him better than any investigator could hope--and there isn't anything I know I wouldn't share, from his sense of humor to his work ethic. Skip has always put God and Country first. He has lived a motto that says, ``If what you did yesterday still seems important, you haven't done much today.'' It doesn't seem all that long ago, we were both attending George Washington University here in the Nation's Capital. We used to dream about the future. I can tell you, we never dreamed that ``someday'' we'd both be before a congressional panel, me as the junior Senator from Wyoming, and Skip as the President's nominee for a key State Department post. Through the years, we have kept track of each other. I have been very proud, but not surprised, that Skip has gone on to accomplish great things in his career with the State Department. I've lived around the world through my brother. Skip has been a man for our time.…”
