Remembering Ted Stevens
"My thoughts and prayers are with those who were injured in the Alaska plane crash and of course with the families of those who tragically lost their lives. Ted Stevens was my colleague and close friend for more than three decades and no one fought harder for their state. Ted was a proud Republican but as evidenced by his friendship with Senator Dan Inouye he epitomized bipartisanship and the ability to work across the aisle for the greater good. Elizabeth joins me in sending our deepest sympathies to Catherine, the entire Stevens family, and the State of Alaska." -- Senator Bob Dole, Washington, D.C., August 10, 2010
