tim johnson has his integrity. he has this unbreakable determination to fight to do the things he needs to do. after 18 years in the senate and 10 years in the house will stop to say he will be lost by the people of south dakota is a great understatement. he worked here with my predecessor, the democratic leader, tom daschle. they got so many things done for the state of south dakota. they are both missed, but their friendship is something i long admire. to show you the type of person by 524the person he beat votes him back the next election and endorsed him. a republican, longtime member of the house and senate endorsed tim johnson in his reelection. that is the kind of integrity tim johnson has. people admire him very much. tim johnson leaves the senate undefeated and i will miss him very, very much. my wife will miss barbara and .heir book club i have seen their exchange of e-mails back and forth as to what book they should read. so we will mr. johnson's. south dakota will miss the johnson's. he will be a great

president, i rise today to bid farewell to my colleague and friend senator tim johnson. tim has deep roots in south dakota in the towns of canton and vermillion in particular. he served our state for more than 35 years, first in the state legislature. then after winning a highly competitive primary against two well-known democrat opponents in the halls of congress. in 1996, after a decade in the u.s. house of representatives, tim won his first of three terms in the united states senate. i'm well acquainted with his second election because i came out on the short end of that stick. but i've had the privilege of serving with tim now in the south dakota delegation for over 16 years. today i want to pay tribute to his many years of public service and all he's done for our home state. i'd also like to take a moment to thank senator johnson's staff for their dedicated work. they've worked closely with my staff for many years and i'm grateful for their efforts. mr. president, like many south dakotans, i will always remember tim as a fighter. south dakotans are tough, rugged folk

tim johnson and i came to the senate together, tim from south dakota. eventually became chairman of the banking committee. after he faced one of the toughest physical challenges any senator has ever faced, a debilitating brain injury that left him physically limited but never limited in spirit and intelligence. thank god with barb at his side, he continued in public service to serve the state of south dakota. i'm going to miss my great friend, tim johnson. i wanted to say a word about three others on the other side of the aisle who are retiring -- saxby chambliss of georgia, tom coburn of oklahoma and mike johanns of nebraska. i got to know them when i gathered with one of these gangs, as they call them around here, to talk about deficit reduction. we spent more time together trying to explore this federal budget and ways to reduce or deficit in a thoughtful manner that we really got to know one another and respect one another. there is a world of difference in our political values and philosophies, but each of them in their own way made a positive cont
