S Congressional Record, Volume 140 Issue 150 (Tuesday, December 20, 1994) [Congressional Record Volume 140, Number 150 (Tuesday, December 20, 1994)] [Senate] [Page S] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Printing Office [www.gpo.gov] [Congressional Record: December 20, 1994] From the Congressional Record Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] TRIBUTE TO SENATOR HARRIS WOFFORD Mr. HEFLIN. Mr. President, during his relatively brief time in the Senate, our distinguished colleague Harris Wofford emerged as one of this body's most respected Members. His insight and leadership on a wide range of issues inspired both sides of the aisle, and reminded us daily of our responsibility to represent our States in pursuit of the national interest. His historic experience as a Kennedy administration official, a civil rights leader, and academician added immeasurably to the unique environment we have in the Senate. Harris' dramatic upset victory in a special election in the fall of 1991 demonstrated to the Nation that the public truly was ready to put its domestic house in order, and to truly concentrate on pressing needs like health care reform and the budget deficit reduction. His triumph gave Democrats renewed confidence, and set the tone early for the campaign that followed. For his perseverance, stamina, political acumen, and grit, we owe him our thanks and gratitude. Harris Wofford served his constituents and this body well for 3\1/2\ years. He is deeply admired and greatly appreciated. ____________________
