Resolution. Tip oneill needs no introduction to this body. Those respect and admire tips record, and his long shadow he cast over the peoples house. We all know his best known fame, all politics is local. Its certainly true today as we propose to name a building right here at the foot of capitol hill, a stones throw from this great dome, in honor the our 55th speaker. This is one of those moments when you wonder how the honoree would feel. Especially when its someone like tip who never quite held back his opinions. Perhaps he would have enjoyed seeing leaders from opposite sides of the aisle come together to give him a well deserved hurrah. Surely he would have gotten a kick of being flanked by a building named after Hubert Humphrey and jerry ford, also leaders from opposite ends of the political spectrum. Tip actually considered mr. Humphrey one of his heroes. And he had one of humphreys quotes put up on the wall in his office. Now, as for jerry ford, they didnt frankly agree on much
