i went to see frank, and frank asked me to speak. we immediately -- and i mean immediately -- became friends. the thing that i admired about frank so much is that he always thought in terms of what he could do, what he should do. -- he alwayss thought privately, what can i do to make it better? it was not some great theological debate that he had with himself, it was so simple to frank. at least to my operation. there was a problem, so we should fix it. i believe that the greek philosopher eric ladies -- herclites was correct when he said character is destiny. everything about frankie goes to agree, disagree, like, dislike. frank, we all acknowledge that he had great character, exceptional character. we saw that not only how he lived his life, but how he died. by serving people in new jersey to the very end. either way, i know you you joked, josh, about your dad, saying you wish he had not made that speech. bonnie will tell you he started at christmas time last, colony, he had to see me -- calling me, he had to see me. i said, frank,

not frank. he told me he wanted to go to arlington cemetery so his grandchildren and great- grandchildren would come to washington and look for his grandfather be so proud that he served in world war ii and was a united states senator. i said frank, you've got to make plans. so when the time is right, you can go there immediately. it could take a month or more if you are not prepared. he never did anything. [laughter] he could not face his mortality and figured somehow it would get done. it did get done. and harry reid did it. miraculously. so thank you, harry, from me and the entire family. [applause] today is a celebration of frank's life. the only thing that would've made him happier than seeing all of you here would be if this was a fundraiser for his next campaign. [laughter] as you heard, he did not want to retire, and had even well, he would have put up a good fight to stay in the senate. he was a street kid from patterson and so proud of it. so what was it like being married to this rena

, i said frank.to germany. he said there is a guy in germany i want you to talk to, which i won't say publicly. okay frank i will talk to him. maybe for him i might, i don't know and then we met again. and your dad was getting a little more frail. he said what do you think? i said i think you should run. and then he said to me, then he called me again and this is over a two and two and a half month period and he said joe, i've got it. i won't use the exact language used. joe, i don't think i can run. my legs, he said my legs. it was clear to me he desperately desperately wanted to run again. i think the reason is not because he wanted to be a senator. but your dad never quit. he never quit anything. he never gave up. he never gave in. and for frank lautenberg to decide that he wasn't going to run again was not only a decision about how he cared about his date. it was about his character. he viewed it in terms of -- my dad whose some of my colleagues knew and hillary knew and my dad had an expression.

frank just loved it. now, the late robert byrd, a many of us to so once took to the floor to too pd tribute to frank. he quoted a point by emerson that asks, what makes a nation great? ,he answer is not gold or arms but leaders who stand fast and suffer long, who work while others sleep, who dare while others lie. frank lautenberg was such a leader. he dared greatly and he led boldly. we are safer, stronger, and more prosperous because he did. are with his wonderful family. he wasw, he loved and loved. after all, that's what makes a great life. thank you, frank.

if it were vote for repeal of dodd-frank. i'd vote for it but it's not a repeal of dodd-frank. as a matter of fact, this piece of legislation, the swap act, was actually voice voted out of agriculture committee. it has joint jurisdiction over this piece of legislation. voice voted. in the committee, financial services, 100% of republicans and 2/3 of the democrats voted for passage. so it isn't exactly as one would hear the other side say. we talk about open rules. i think one of the things that distinguish this congress versus the 111th congress is that this is one of the most open congresses in the 112th versus the 111th that had absolutely zero open rules. i remind my colleagues of that just because, as we talk about this, and move forward on both these issues, it's important to know we have an open rule coming up. we have almost 300 amendments that we are going to be considering in the rules committee in just a short period of time with the nda. and lastly, i hear my colleagues talk about how for 25 years they allowed sexual assault to go unabated. i can't hardly stomach the

frank lautenberg, that was his last foreign travel. and i can remember indicating what a strong man he was physically. i haven't been to the great wall of china. i hadn't been. and it's pretty steep and big rocks there there have been so many centuries and centuries. and because frank was 88 years old at the time, somebody grabbed his arm to help him go thrup. he pushed them away and wanted no help. he was on his own and that's the way he wanted to be. i, our nation, owes a great debt of gratitude to frank for his outstanding service. he has always been so kind to me. he was won that really appreciated his service. he appreciated being here. he loved being in the senate. and the nation's going to miss his strength and his progressive leadership. mr. president, the other thing that probably a lot of people don't know about frank lautenberg, his sense of human our. i had him tell a story because no one could tell the story like him, but another reason, frank laughed his own jokes and thought they were funny. one of our favorites was abou

frank was quick to be the leader on the issue. even though the state of new jersey was a lot of chemical producers. he lead in the effort to protect families and children. he wrote the law to create the patterson great falls historic national park. after he cast his 9,000th vote in december of 2011, senator harry reid wrote he's been one of the most productive senator in the history of the country. while it was february 15, that frank announced he wasn't going seek another term in the senate. at the time of the announcement, the hometown he -- whatly wanted to get down before he left the senate. reforming the chemical safety law and improving gun safety and providing federal resources from new jersey to rebuild from hurricane sandy. we owe it to frank and his memory to make sure they are done. i know, bob menendez his friend and close colleague from new jersey will pick up the gan let and proceed to carry-on in frank's name. he used to say with some pride he was a success in business. he was. he understand the mind of businessman.

frank lautenberg has been a real gentleman around here. we were commenting what a kind, friendly person he has been. and when you look at people who have served in the congress for a very long time, some of them have prominence because of their opinions and some of them have prominence because of some of the things they do in terms of being big personalities. frank lautenberg was a quiet man who actually got a lot done legislatively. which we don't always see. he worked very hard in some areas that matter in people's everyday lives, he dealt with issues like tobacco, he was the one who was behind getting smoking off airplanes. he did a lot in the area of bringing down the legal level for drinking. on the highways. he did a lot in the area of gun control. and i remember being in the chamber not long ago when there was the background checks vote and it was the last time we saw him here in the senate and there was a big stirring of applause and emotion when he came into the chamber, aided by some of his staffers to cast that vote. he was a re

that's frank lautenberg. when he got into politics, every time he ran he won and there was some amazing story or amazing circumstances surrounding it. it is therefore in keeping with the circumstances of frank lautenberg's that his passing brought about another one-of-a-kind drama in new jersey politics. you have to know about his legacy and what he did with his time in the senate. the thing he is most famous for was the fight he led and won in 1989 in the senate. the first time around. he was a two-pack a day smoker at point and he quit smoking and made a change in the country for everyone that made it so airplanes no longer need to have exhaust pipes that come out of the passenger compartment. we have the exhaust pipes for the engines now. >> the new prohibition take effect three months after the president signs the legislation. after that the only domestic flights would be 12 daily flights from inland cities to hawaii that take longer than six hours and one flight from alaska also more than six hours. at l

frank himself lived the american dream. he was the son of poor immigrants and he rose to become a chief executive of a business that employed thousands of people around the world. he personally did really well, but he was never satisfied with just his own personal success. he understood, like so many great americans, that his success was based on the opportunities that this country afforded him. so he chose over three decades to give back and to fight for people who make sure they had the opportunities that he did. he started his career here back in 1982. and as many of us who served with him know, he decided to retire but he was not happy in retirement. he wanted to be here doing what he loved: being a united states senator and fighting for the people of his home state, new jersey, and fighting for americans all over to have the opportunities i just talked about. he made it his mission really to make sure that the ladders that were there for him were there for the generations that came behind him. he was a proud world war
