ms. delauro, mr. dicks on the appropriations committee. and i served on the labor, health and human services and education subcommittee on the appropriations committee and i went on in january of 1983. i won't go through every year from 1983 to today. that would take too long and would bore you stiff. but i had the great privilege of sitting just a couple of chairs from the gentleman from wisconsin, who had been in the congress some 12 years before i came. having been elected in 1969. served over four decades in this body. i will adopt all the words that were ascribed to him by the gentlewoman from new york, but three words that i would use are tough, courageous and effective. i think the gentleman from kentucky called it as well. he is a difference maker. i think, congressman rogers, your words were very appropriate, not because you agreed or others agreed necessarily with the difference he wanted to make, but you knew if david obey was engaged in an issue, he would make a difference in that issue. from my perspective, the good thing is,
