i knew barbara mikulski was interested and i went to barbara and i said, barbara, you want it, it's yours. two years later, wendell ford decided he was going to retire. he was the whip. i can still remember that morning, i'm walking from the hart building over to the russell building, in that long walkway there, and i see barbara mikulski. i didn't say a word to her. she said, "i want to talk to you." she said, "you supported me when i wanted to be the secretary. you want to be the whip? i'm supporting you." but for barbara mikulski, i would not have had that leadership position. once the democratic knew -- democratic caucus knew that barbara mikulski supported me, it was all over. i won. and i won because she came to me, as she did that morning. so, mr. president my respect, admiration and love for this woman is difficult for me to describe, but it's there. she ran for congress after the city council of baltimore for five years and won. she represented maryland's third district for ten years before winning the seat in the senate she now holds. i say again i appreciate all that she has do

to work with senator barbara mikulski. and i think that the impact of this 4'11" mighty might is the impact of ten times. she has made an impact on congress and an impact on america, because she is relentless, she is reasonable, she understands an issue, and she understands the importance of listening as well as talking. she is effective. she is totally respected. if there is anyone in the united states senate that doesn't like her, respect her, and work well with her, i haven't met them. and when you're the longest-serving woman in in the congress, you've been with a lot of people. but she is unanimously so well regarded, i have never met an enemy of hers. i'll just close by saying the people who know her best love her most. and i can't think of a finer thing to say about any person. thank you, mr. president. and i yield the floor. mr. kerry: mr. president? the presiding officer: the snoer from massachusetts. mr. kerry: mr. president, first of all, i want to say what a pleasure it is to welcome senator sarbanes back here.

and barbara knows this. and i wanted to -- i wanted to have a hearing on just the economic benefits of early childhood education, just the economic benefits. because a child who has a quality early childhood education is less likely to be a special ed kid, is less likely to be left back a grade, has better health outcomes. if they're girls, less likely to get pregnant before she graduates high school. more than likely to graduate -- more likely to graduate high school. more likely to go to college. more likely to graduate college. more likely to get a good-paying job and pay taxes, and much less likely to go to prison. it's been shown over and over again that the cost-benefit, it's like for every dollar spent, it's like $16 in return. i wanted to get a hearing just on this because we were talking -- we were talking about education. i thought that this really needed to be discussed and we needed experts, economists who were credible on this. so i went to barbara and she, of course, said oh, yeah. okay, let's
