To testify this morning. Hes always been one of my heroes of the senate, he was one of the first people that i met when i got to washington, and after listening to a few of his debates when i can see terror in the face of his opponents, i actually got to sit down and visit with him about some critical issues. I was on the Banking Committee that he was the chairman of at the time and i learned a lot. And i wanted to specifically to have him here for a hearing because of his past experience, not while i was in the senate but before that when he worked with redmond and hallings and thats had a carryover effect on us today and that was kwielt a while ago so there need to be some revisions in it so well be relying on him and others who have chaired the Budget Committee to come up with solutions that will make it possible for us to kwul u actually get control of the budget while we improve the economy. So, senator grahams decades of experience serving as an elected official both in the house
