finally, i want to thank again senator booker. he honors not only his own long history of public service but also the memory of our late colleague, our extraordinary and esteemed colleague and my wonderful mentor and friend, frank lautenberg. he joins the ranks of others in the senate who are fighting for the needs of the economically disadvantaged. people, as he said so well, who play by the rules. they believe in this country, its ideals, its goals, and they want to serve it and give back and contribute. this nation depends on a covenant. it is the covenant that each of our generations leaves the country better for the one that follows. not only that the country is better for the next generation, but that each of our generations on our watch pledge to do better. that is the reason that we need to extend unemployment insurance. without it, we will be a lesser nation not just economically but in fairness and morality as well. i thank senator booker for reminding us of that fundamental fact about our nation, and i yield the floor.

the other cory booker. senator, welcome. >> good morning. >> i want to begin with controversy about you as an african-american senator from south carolina. you had to deal with comments from the head of the naacp in north carolina. he said the following, a ventriloquist can always find a good dummy. the extreme right wing finds a black guy to be senator and claims he's the first are black senator since reconstruction, then he goes to washington august and articue lates the agenda for the tea party. what do you think of that? >> you can't respond to someone who's never taken the time to know me. he wasn't there when i was growing up in a single parent household. he wasn't there when i started my business working 85 hours a week. he wasn't there when i was running for congress against long odds. for him to have comments about me, i don't get it. number two, when you look at my opportunity agenda, you this i about what i'm focused on. i'm focused on something called the choice act where creating hope and oppor
