BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. LEE. Mr. President, it is an honor to serve with my friend John Curtis. Sharon and I love John and his wife Sue. I have known them for a long time, and he is a dear friend.
As you can tell, anyone who knows him loves him. Anyone who doesn't know him, from watching his speech, can tell that he is a man of great intellect, great conviction, and also he is a really likable person. I feel so fortunate to work with him.
Welcome to the Senate, and congratulations on absolutely a fantastic maiden speech. I am relieved you decided not to try to break Cory Booker's record today. We will save that one for another day.
