like sumi immigrants and children of immigrants, george mitchell's parents were deeply devoted to their children. his father used to bring the newspaper home from his job and every night quiz to george and three siblings about what was in them. all four of the mitchell children graduated from college. george mitchell worked his way first through college, maine georgetown law school. he supplemented his scholarship with work, dorm proctor, construction worker, night watchman, truck driver. can you imagine george mitchell is a truck driver? an insurance adjuster. he served as an army counterintelligence officer in germany before construction of the berlin wall. he came to the senate for the first time in the early 1960's as chief of staff for his mentor and friend ed muskie. his elected career did not begin. in 1972, he ran for director of the democratic national committee and lost. two years later he ran for governor of maine, lost in the primary. in 1977, he was appointed federal prosecutor to the state of maine. two years later, he was appointed to the federal bench a role he seemed to

s majority or the 61 votes robert byrd had were george mitchell's and 103rd congress. i know senator lott with 55 would like more. but senator baker's high was 54, and mine was 53. the last time there were 55 republican senators was in 1929, which is pretty impressive considering there were only 48 states. [laughter] and strom was then a democrat. age may not bestow wisdom, but as some of us know, it carries certain privileges. among them the right to remember and perhaps distill whatever perspective comes with experience. there are countless memories wrapped up in nearly 10,000 days i served in the united states senate. 10,000 days. i'm not going to speak about each one of them because i know we have limited time. but i would like to pick out a few that stand out. as i tried to whittle it down, it was difficult. but like all of you here, i remember the day i took the oath of office and signed the book is senators have done before and since. it was january 3 1969. i sat in the back row, the seat senator susan collins now occupies. i was sandwiched between arizona's two

from george mitchell, i learned anew something that adlai stevenson had in mind when he called principled partisanship the "lifeblood of democracy." however fiercely partisan we might have been when debating politics, we were fiercely nonpartisan when applying the rules of the senate. as it happens, senator mitchell and i are now in the same law firm, and we take some pride in the fact that it took us only 15 minutes to gridlock the entire operation. [laughter] from howard baker, i learned that one of the most important qualities a leader can possess is patience. he never confused civility with weakness, nor generosity of spirit with surrender of principle. from my friend robert byrd, i learned a lot of roman history. none of it have i been able to use, but i learned a lot of it. [laughter] we all continue to learn that this institution can only survive if it operates by rules. and no one knows the rules of the senate he loves more than robert byrd. and from mike mansfield, i learned to value straight talk as truthful as it was taciturn. mike mansfield, without question, holds the record
