moran: mr. president, i join my colleagues today in tribute to our colleague, senator john mccain of arizona. you know, we look for heroes in this world. it seems to me we're always looking in the wrong places and we look at baseball diamonds and basketball courts and amp theaters of stadiums and where performers sing. we fail to look in the right places. sometimes we're with heroes and we don't always recognize it at the moment. but there is no american i know that is more deserving of the title hero than john mccain. those who serve us in the military, they are entitled to that honorrive -- honorific, and those who serve our veterans, they're heroes, too. senator mccain lived a liefs in which heroics -- life in which heroics are part of every day. i first met john mccain in 1996 in hayes, kansas, my hometown. senator bob dole, then a candidate for president of the united states, would fly into the airport in hayes near his hometown of russell. this time he had a guest with him, john mccain, wh

the areas of disagreement are fewer today than they were a year ago. >> commissioner moran: while we do have similar data, we're no longer arguing about the models being used. we don't endorse each other's models fully, but we don't argue about them. we have similar data. we do have different roles and come to some different conclusions. that's how it should be and probably will always be true to some degree. we have a responsibility to the fishery of the lower dams. we know that. we take that seriously. we also have an obligation to meet demands of the service area. we work to minimize those demands, we work on that. but our role is different here. we know more water will go to the river. the question is in what way? we believe we put water in the river that's targeted to the specific needs of the fishery that will produce more fish with less water. so there's a difference of approach. we have science on our side. you have science on your side. but i think that's the discussion -- that's the the core of the discussion. the other thing that's at the core of the discussion is the plan

terry moran in sedona, covering what's been happening. you've talked to supporters, final thoughts as we wrap up. >> there's two things that come to mind, listening to my colleagues and looking at magnificent pictures. one, a life lesson, one, a country lesson. resilience, think of how much john mccain went through, how often he came back. went to war, baby one year old. came back, she was six, didn't recognize him. scared when he hugged her. he went through that, came out on the other end, positive about life. had a great political career and country lesson is the thing he was trying to teach us his last year. we don't have to be this way. don't have to hate on each other as much. in that clip where he talks to the woman who says she thinks barack obama is an arab and is scared, thing that's impressive is way he addresses her, with respect. no ma'am, no ma'am, today someone would scream at her, insult her. he was polite and corrected her in patriotism in which he lived. resilience personally and for his country, how he lived. >> will be
