“it is a pleasure to be in these Chambers on such a historic day. Many out there might think that I am referring to this final passage of the tax reform bill, and that is truly historic and very significant and allows the American people to be removed from the fear of their own Government. And that is significant, but it is not the most significant historical thing happening. Earlier today, there was a speech in here that recognized something very important that is happening. Last year, I was presiding when Senator Byrd gave his speech about mothers. Today, he spoke about mothers. On Sunday, we will be recognizing mothers. Mothers are probably the most significant historical thing that happen each and every day in this country. ``Mother'' has to be the world's most special word. I want to add to his comments and those of Senator Thomas earlier today. Of course, the person we get to know the best--or at least, probably more correctly worded, who knows us the best--is our mother. That gives them a very special place in our lives. They always set expectations for us. I will have to relate this in terms of my mother.”
