i don't need to read off his impressive resume or thank him for his service in the georgia national guard, his real estate business and his public service. i want to talk about johnny isakson, my friend. now, everybody in this body, you hear us get up and we say, my colleague and my friend. well, sometimes i think i'm not sure that we're really talking about friends, but i want to tell you, johnny, i'm not making this up. i am talking about you as my friend. i'm not just being polite. you know me better than that. and i'll tell a little story. he's heard me tell it. but when i was elected to the congress in the house of representatives in the year 2000, literally i was walking down the aisle, probably our first vote. had no idea really what i was doing, didn't know anybody in the 435 member body and i must have had it written all over my face because i was sort of wandering, and this hand reaches out and says -- and he said why don't you sit down next it me and we can talk about what's going on. that was my introduction to johnny isakson. so we talked about what was going on the floor. we

start by saying to diane, john, joy, kevin and the you for sharing him with the state of georgia and the nation for decades. when i first got elected back in 2010 i go got seated right after the special election a respected senior realtor from my hometown team and told me i should look up a guy named johnny isakson of horgia, someone he knew from real estate. he said he's a good husband and father, principled man you will enjoy working with. so i looked him up online and if all you have to judge someone by was the right left positions, he succeeded newt gingrich. he and i on the surface on a few positions but have nothing in common. but as the providence would have it, when i got here he was a trainer for a fi ethics for thew senators and to his misfortune he got assigned to be my mentor. and i began what has been an adventure that has not yet ended and i hope it never will be friendship in a companionship that has taken us through some pretty wild places. early in 2011 i was made chairman of the subcommittee on africa and johnny was the ranking member and i couldn't have asked for a better com

his life is marred with such tremendous service from his time in the georgia air national guard to his service in the georgia house and senate and on to the united states house and the united states senate. johnny has been making his home state proud every single step of the way. as a fellow veteran, i can't tell you how much i especially appreciate senator isakson's relentless and dedicated focus on veterans' issues. as chairman of the senate veterans affairs committee, he's worked tirelessly to put our veterans first. one of the most important pieces of legislation that we worked on together was the v.a. mission act. veterans in iowa and in georgia are oftentimes living in rural areas or are simply homebound. so in the v.a. mission act, i knew that johnny would be a great ally and partner to make sure we prioritized telehealth and ensuring veterans can receive necessary care closer to home. and we did just that. folks, the mission act is truly landmark legislation that is making a difference in the lives of countless veterans across our nation. it would not have been possible without

he's a veteran himself, a veteran of the georgia air national guard from 1966 to 1972, and he worked for veterans and as a veteran, i thank you senator isakson. he was instrumental in passing the v.a. mission act, critical legislation that enhancing the ability of comprehensive caregivers to assist veterans. further, after the v.a. mission act, he's been working so hard, he's also been able to pass, and i was proud to support with him, the harry w.comery, veterans educational assistance act. in is known as the forever g.i. bill because it makes critical differences to the g.i. bill, it ends the 15-year limit on the g.i. bill benefits allowing the use of those benefits throughout the lifetime of the recipient. he has been an extraordinary leader doing so much. i wish johnny isakson and his wife dianne and the entire family well. finally, i want to say that the measure -- the true measure of an individual is not the sum of their legislative achievements. johnny's had many of those. not political victories, johnny's had many of those. not success in any one realm of endeavor, public or

common ground, he's been able to accomplish an incredible record of success for the people of georgia and our nation. let me just give you some examples. you heard many of them but i'm going to talk a little bit from a personal point of view. yes, i had the distinction of serving on the ethics committee for a short period of time on one case, and i got to see senator isakson at work and how he defended the integrity of this institution. and as i was listening to his leadership during that deliberations, i had no idea what party he belonged to in the way that he conducted that investigation. it was done with one thing in mind, to protect the integrity of the institution and to find common ground in order to serve the institution right. he has a deep respect for the united states senate. he has a deep respect for the legislative branch of government. and he has demonstrated that over and over again by his leadership. you've heard about his experiences as chairman of the veterans' affairs committee. well, i had the opportunity to travel with senator isakson to normandy to celebrate the 75th anniversary

after the shechen russianer war he reportedly helped the nation of georgia in their counter intelligence man had been living in the nation of georgia for several years but after two failed assassination attempts against him there he fled to germany to try to stay alive. and that is where he had been living until they did finally get him, until he was successfully assassinated in that berlin park in august of this year by that man on the bike. well, a few weeks after that former chechen fighter was killed in berlin, american officials told "the wall street journal," quote, the united states believes that russia is responsible for this assassination. that was back in september. since then, nothing, though, from the u.s. government which a little bit odd, right? i mean, the u.s. government determines it was the government of russia that carried out this broad daylight assassination in a foreign country in the capital city of one of our allies in western europe. after that determination by the u.s. government you might expect the u.s. government to do something, right, to have some sort of r

and kevin and the grandkids, thank you, thank you for sharing johnny with the state of georgia and with our nation for decades. when i first got elected to the senate back in 2010, which was a somewhat unexpected election, i got seated right after the special election, a respected senior realtor from my hometown named kick christopher -- dick christopher came and told me i should look up a guy named johnny isakson from georgia, somebody he knew from business, from real estate. he said he's a good husband and father, a principled man. you'll enjoy working with him. i never heard of him. so i looked him up online. and if all you had to judge someone by was their right-left positions, he succeeded newt gingrich. he and i on the surface, on a few positions would have nothing in common. but as luck or providence would have it, when i got here he was the trainer with barbara boxer for ethics for the new senators and to his misfortune, he got assigned to be my mentor. and i began what has been an adventure that hasn't yet ended and i hope never will. i have a friendship and companionship that's taken us

georgia growing. and on the gold dome, he has fought for policy this disparate economic growth and opportunity and prosperity in every corner of our state. in our nation news capital, he pushed for strong borders, tough foreign policy, better healthcare, and the protection of freedom for hard-working americans as well as our allies overseas. georgia republicans we owed a debt of gratitude to johnny isaacson for charting the course. in my opinion he joins the likes of paul coverdale. some of the parties early trailblazers. and most impactful leaders. yesterday, at the u.s. capitol, men and women republican and democrat, honor johnny for hours. i am confident that the hard-working georgians from every corner of the state, could and will sending him races for years to come. while senator isaacson could not be with us here today in person, i know he is watching this moment right now live. some joining me i'm behalf of all georgians, far and wide, thank you. your impact and legacy will literally live i'm for generations to come. we owe you a big debt of gratitude for thank you very much.

the german police and so on they must have believed they have some evidence which links the nation to georgia and to russia would it not make sense though to establish who was responsible before expelling diplomats at that level. well the police especially the security police the. danged they would be unwilling to give information. to the public about exactly what they know and how they arrived at this conclusion that they in fact have identified 2 russian diplomats as being responsible. from be behind this this assassination therefore this in fact you could say this is normal that security services are all was reluctant to reveal the information and if they have any informants they want to protect those informants and therefore they presumably have collected information and informants perhaps some informants have identified these 2 russian diplomats and of course that has not gone before a court of law it's not going to a court and you can't actually say whether that is true or false that is just an allegation the german authorities will make this allegation and then say we're going to. decl

the governor, a republican, the previous governor in georgia, was one of the nation's leaders in criminal justice reform policy. i had the opportunity to meet with him with several of our partner groups before he left office. and georgia actually implemented every level of criminal justice reform, from sentencing reform to reentry policies. and this is a man, a republican, who was able to get a unanimous vote on sentencing reform in georgia, which we used the call deep red georgia -- i guess it is a little purple now. the states -- that is where it is at right now. we started with the justice action network in three states. next year, we will be in 20 states. from progressive states like new york to conservative states like my home commonwealth of kentucky, the first state in the nation to go for donald trump on election night. tennessee will be a huge leader on criminal justice reform. the governor is a business guy, talked about criminal justice reform, was a huge part of his state of the state address. there are conservative governors all over the country -- oklahoma -- who understand
