Directly and say, thank you very much, chuck grassley, for friendship, for counsel, for working together through all these years. Im going to miss that relationship and working on the senate floor, but i will be in iowa. Ill be working again with the Harkin Institute at the university. Ill be spending a lot of time on disability policy and advancing the cause of people with disabilities in some way, shape, or form i dont know exactly house, but in some way, in that way and i hope i just want to say this to my friend. I hope that at some time, since this is a nonpartisan institute, we have a great board of directors in fact, the former chair of the Iowan Republican Party is on the board of the institute we want to keep it nonpartisan. I would like to ask my friend to come and speak at and be perhaps lead a discussion sometime at the institute at university.

Environment, and probably lots of others, but those are things that Everybody Knows that he has worked hard on. Throughout the years tom and i have served side by side in washington for the good of our home state. For three terms we worked together in the u. S. House of representatives. It was here in the senate our shared commitment to give Rural America a voice at the policy making table was sown. And for many years we worked together on the Senate Agricultural committee looking out for the millions of americans who choose to work and earn a living in Rural America. We worked together to advocate for Rural Infrastructure and investment, access to health care, Housing Technology and transportation. For the last three decades we have served alongside one another here in this distinguished body, the United States senate, an institution that both of us hold near and dear to our hearts. Although some of our silver tongued critics over the years may have described toms views as a bleeding
So this is the last of the watergate babies. I always have to remind them, i say theres one left. Whos that, they say . Its a republican. A republican . Whos that . My colleague from iowa, Chuck Grassley is sort of, i say, the last man standing from that class of 1974. I think its again, a tribute to senator grassley that through all these years he has won the hearts and minds of the people of iowa, been elected and reelected. He came to the senate before i did. He came in 1981 and i came in 1984. So id like to think that we at least share in common at least bucking the trend a little bit or the tide because in 1984 someone said harkin, you had a run for the senate in 1984 because there will be a big democratic landslide here. So i ran and whoa, boy, the tide was just the opposite. It was a reagan landslide here but i was fortunate enough to be able to win elections. So i think the the two of us share sort of bucking the tide, so to speak, to get into office when we ran. But its been a
I think the nation is frustrated that it doesnt on his job. Can you bring ted cruz on whatever strategy you have, not to include obamacare, can you board . Cruz on as we let folks know, certainly on the house side, that everyone in the house of representatives will be able to input into the budget. Every individual help an opportunity to talk with their colleagues about the solutions that we bring forward. Process, andme to open process, delivered in process, ambitious process, that will allow individuals to say yeah, i know it can be everything i wanted to be, but i had an opportunity to affect the outcome and therefore i supported.
