First, let me add my words of fond farewell to my friend lamar alexander, the touching moments between the leader and the senior senator from tennessee moving to all of us. Senator alexander and i have not always agreed, but what an amazing and capable legislator and true statesman he has been. He has been in the middle of things for much of his 18 years in the senate, not because hes some ideologue in his corner, because he is someone who has always been willing and insistent on reaching across the aisle, on hearing another senators perspective, searching for Common Ground no matter how narrow it may be. He searches to do the right thing. I remember, the immigration bill. Watched him wrestle with it and turn and i knew in my heart, to do the right thing. Some real political consequence to himself. A man of principle. Almost every morning for a long time, and more often than not we found each other on opposite side. We learned the rules committee for a number of years. I will never spe
