Thank you, mr. President. I come to the floor today to pay tribute to this great wyoming leader. For nearly a quarter of a century, mike enzi has represented the people of wyoming in washington, and hes done it with intelligence, with intensity e and with integrity. The cowboy state and the capitol are going to sorely miss mike if enzi. Hes truly cemented his legacy as the trusted trail boss of the wyoming congressional delegation, and its been an incredible honor and a great privilege for my wife bobbi and me to serve the people of wyoming alongside mike and husband wife diana who is with us today.

Jerry and husband wife both passed away this year, and they had been married 70 years. He taught sunday school in wyoming, and her star pupil was mike

My friend chuck for their remarks. I will have more to say to them later. On march 9th, 1967, senator howard baker junior, the newly elected senator from tennessee made his maiden address, his first speech on the floor of the senate. He spoke for too long. The republican leader of the senate who was also bakers father in law, walked to congratulate him and said howard, occasionally you might enjoy the luxury of unexpressed thought. Which is good advice for farewell address as well. Senator bakers legislative assistant, i was also a speechwriter that made an address, or at least i thought i was.
