S11938 Congressional Record, Volume 150 Issue 139 (Wednesday, December 8, 2004) [Congressional Record Volume 150, Number 139 (Wednesday, December 8, 2004)] [Senate] [Page S11938] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] DEATH OF STAN KIMMITT Mr. REID. Mr. President, I just want to say one thing before we get into debate. I think it is appropriate today to mention the death of Stan Kimmitt. Stan died last night. We have had a lot of familiarity with him here. He was in the cloakroom yesterday. Some may not recognize him by name, some of the new people here, but he was a fixture on the Democratic side of the Senate. He served for 11 years as Secretary of the majority under Senator Mansfield when he was the majority leader. He was also elected Secretary of the Senate from 1977 to 1981. He was well known. He was a World War II combat veteran, and he spent 25 years in the Army. He served in combat in both Korea and the European theater. He was awarded the Silver Star and the Legion of Merit. I am not going to dwell on this other than to say it is people like him who have such a love for this institution they have worked in, that even though they leave, they are back. He had a very good business downtown but came here all the time. As the Chaplain in his prayers talks about the Senate family, Stan Kimmitt was truly a part of the Senate family. I express my condolences on behalf of the entire Senate to his wife and his family. The PRESIDENT pro tempore. The majority leader is recognized. ____________________
