and he said no that he wanted ray lahood to do it. and i think steve, over that period of time of five years, i had developed a reputation for fairness for doing it by the book, for making sure that everybody was treated respectfully. that everybody got to say what they wanted to say within the time frame within which they were given to say it. and there was a respect on both sides. and because of that the style that i used that speaker gingrich decided. it was his call. >> looking back at the impeachment of bill clinton as a member of congress was it the right thing or was it a mistake. chief of de was the staff in the judiciary committee. i knew henry very well. i believe that he was a very fair person. i feel that the hearings that he held, the testimony that he took let him to believe that they should have voted out four articles of impeachment. i think henry hyde as chair of the judiciary committee was fair. >> did you learn about how the houseworked or that moment in history from your vantage point? >> that was probably the most

and that's all due in no small part to ray lahood's leadership. rican can thank ray for his dedication to make our transportation system not just stronger but also safer. when it comes to his focused attention on the dangers of distracted driving for example, it is saving lives. and on a personal note, ray lahood has been a good friend of mine for many years. before he served in my cabinet and we served together in congress. he is a republican. i'm a democrat. these days that sometimes keeps folks apart but what always brought ray and i together was a shared belief that those of us who serve in public service oh their allegiance not to party but to people who elected them to represent them. and it helps that we're from the same state. ray's from peoria. i'm from chicago. we both love the state of illinois and, you know, we both get out there on the golf course and we're not that good but we don't take ourselves too seriously. you know, he is a good man and has been an outstanding public servant and a model for the kind of bipartisan approach to gov

. >> what have you learned ray lahood in the job? >> i think really just having a focus and working hard, you can really make a difference. i served in congress for 14 years. there's a lot of satisfaction, but in this job you can really make a difference because you can get things done. you can really have an impact. and what i told our other cabinet colleagues when we first met for years ago. pick two or three things that you want to get done so when you walk out the door, you can remember two or three things that you accomplished. and a lot of them we just had a dinner together before the last state of the union and i lot of them remember that advice. these are big agencies. they're full of career people. they are going to be here long after we leave. if you can walk out the door and say you accomplished two or three important things for the president and for the american people, that's a big accomplishment in these jobs. and i'm proud that we can say that and i think a lot of my cabinet colleagues would say the same thing. >> so w
