I've been working all day, no access to email or TV, etc. . I heard that Kennedy's remarks were moving, and would love to know what he said.

Too devastated to write more right now. : (

FLOOR STATEMENT BY SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY ON SENATOR JOHN KERRY
(AS ENTERED INTO THE SENATE RECORD)
January 24, 2007

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


Mr. President, I know how difficult of a decision this is for Senator Kerry to make. And today, I say to the people of the country how proud all of us in Massachusetts are of John Kerry, and his outstanding service in the United States Senate for our state and our country. Throughout his career, he has been a true hero in every sense of the word.

He has been my colleague since 1984, and I have deeply valued the opportunity to work side-by-side with him, but most of all I’m proud to call him my friend. Over the years, Vikki and I have grown close to John and his wonderful wife Teresa and his loving daughters Vanessa and Alexandra. They are a special family, and their friendship is one we cherish.

We heard just a few moments ago why he was able to galvanize the country, and earn such tremendous support, in the 2004 Presidential campaign. The eloquences, the passion, the insight, the knowledge of history, and awareness of public events – these are the qualities that characterize and define the career of John Kerry.

Now John has decided to continue to devote his passion, his interest, and his energies toward bringing our troops from Iraq safely, and how fortunate they are to know that he will devote all of his energies to that cause over the next months – hopefully not years. All of us in Massachusetts look forward to his continued service in the United States Senate for years to come and to his voice and his vote working here for the working people of Massachusetts, for their jobs, for their health care, for the education of their children, for the betterment of their environment, and for their hope for a better quality of life. He’s been there for us in the past on so many of these critical concerns, and we take comfort in knowing he’ll be there for all of us in the future as well.

I know this has been a difficult time for John. I congratulate him on an outstanding presentation this afternoon, and for his courage and determination. I congratulate him for continuing to want to make a very important difference on the overarching and overriding issue of our time, and that is how we can remedy this catastrophic mistake of Iraq and bring our servicemen home safely.

I’m grateful to be able to call John Kerry my colleague and friend, and look forward to working with him for years to come.
