Farewell To The Senate Tuesday, December 7, 2010 Mr. LeMIEUX. Madam President, I Rise To Pay Tribute To The Body With Which I Have Had The Privilege Of Serving For The Past 15 Months. Being A U.S. Senator, Representing 18\1/2\ Million Floridians, Has Been The Privilege Of My Lifetime, And Now That Privilege Is Coming To An End. As I Stand On The Floor Of The Senate To Address My Colleagues This One Last Time, I Am Both Humbled And Grateful, Humbled By This Tremendous Institution, By Its Work, And By The Statesmen I Have Had The Opportunity To Serve With, Who I Knew Only From Afar But Now Am Grateful That I Can Call Those Same Men And Women My Colleagues. No Endeavor Worth Doing Is Done Alone. And My Time Here Is No Exception. In The Past 16 Months, I Have Asked The Folks Who Worked With Me To Try To Get 6 Years Of Service Out Of That Time, And They Have Worked Tirelessly To Achieve That Goal. My Chief Of Staff Kerry Feehery, My Deputy Chief Of Staff Vivian Myrtetus, My State Director Carlos Curbelo, Ben Moncrief, Michael Zehy, Ken Lundberg, Melissa Hernandez, Maureen Jaeger, Danielle Joos, Brian Walsh, Frank Walker, Spencer Wayne, Vennia Francois, Victor Cervino, Taylor Booth, And Many Others Have Made Our Time Here Worthwhile, And I Thank All Of Them. I Especially Thank Vivian And Maureen Who Left Their Families And Gave Up Precious Time With Their Children To Come To Washington To Support Me In These Efforts. I Am Also Thankful To The People Who Work In Our State Office. Time And Time Again When I Travel Around Florida I Am Greeted By People Who Have Received Such A Warm Reception From The Men And Women Who Serve Us In Florida And Help People Deal With Problems With The Federal Government. I Am Grateful For Their Work. Senator McConnell Has Provided Me With Opportunities Beyond My Expectations. He Is A Great Leader, And I Am Grateful To Him. Senators Alexander, Burr, Cornyn, Kyl, McCain, Corker, And Many Others Have Taken Me Under Their Wings And Mentored Me, And I Am Appreciative Of Them. Chairmen Rockefeller And Levin, We Have Had The Opportunity To Do Great Work Together In Your Committees. I Thank You For That. Senators Cantwell, Klobuchar, Landrieu, Whitehouse, And Baucus, We Have Worked Together In A Commonsense Way To Pass Legislation That Is Good For The American People, And I Am Appreciative Of Your Efforts. Senator Mel Martinez, Who Ably Held The Seat Before Me, Has Been Generous In His Advice And Counsel. Senator Nelson And His Wife Grace Have Been Warm And Welcomed Meike And Me To Washington. I Am Thankful For Your Courtesy. I Thank Governor Crist. He Has Afforded Me Tremendous Opportunities For Public Service, And I Am Grateful. I Want To Say A Special Thank You To My Parents. My Grandfather, In 1951, Drove His 1949 Pontiac From Waterbury, CT, To Fort Lauderdale, FL, With His Wife And Five Kids Piled In The Back. He Didn't Know Anybody. He Didn't Have A Job. But He Went There To Make A Better Life For His Family. He Worked In The Trades, In Construction. He Built Houses And He Taught My Father The Same Thing. And As My Father Worked In The Hot Florida Sun, His Ambition For His Son Was That He Would One Day Get To Work In Air-conditioning. I Have Achieved That Goal And So Much More Because Of Their Sacrifice. Mom And Dad Didn't Go To College But They Sent Me To College And Law School, And I Will Be Forever Grateful For What They Have Done For Me. My Most Heartfelt Appreciation Goes To My Wife Meike. When I Learned Of This Appointment, I Met Her At The Door Of Our Home In Tallahassee And She Was Crying. She Was Not Just Crying Because She Was Happy; She Was Crying Because She Was Worried.

Time And Time Again When I Travel Around Florida I Am Greeted By People Who Have Received Such A Warm Reception From The Men And Women Who Serve Us In Florida And Help People Deal With Problems With The Federal Government. I Am Grateful For Their Work. Senator McConnell Has Provided Me With Opportunities Beyond My Expectations. He Is A Great Leader, And I Am Grateful To Him. Senators Alexander, Burr, Cornyn, Kyl, McCain, Corker, And Many Others Have Taken Me Under Their Wings And Mentored Me, And I Am Appreciative Of Them. Chairmen Rockefeller And Levin, We Have Had The Opportunity To Do Great Work Together In Your Committees. I Thank You For That. Senators Cantwell, Klobuchar, Landrieu, Whitehouse, And Baucus, We Have Worked Together In A Commonsense Way To Pass Legislation That Is Good For The American People, And I Am Appreciative Of Your Efforts. Senator Mel Martinez, Who Ably Held The Seat Before Me, Has Been Generous In His Advice And Counsel. Senator Nelson And His Wife Grace Have Been Warm And Welcomed Meike And Me To Washington. I Am Thankful For Your Courtesy. I Thank Governor Crist. He Has Afforded Me Tremendous Opportunities For Public Service, And I Am Grateful. I Want To Say A Special Thank You To My Parents. My Grandfather, In 1951, Drove His 1949 Pontiac From Waterbury, CT, To Fort Lauderdale, FL, With His Wife And Five Kids Piled In The Back. He Didn't Know Anybody. He Didn't Have A Job. But He Went There To Make A Better Life For His Family. He Worked In The Trades, In Construction. He Built Houses And He Taught My Father The Same Thing. And As My Father Worked In The Hot Florida Sun, His Ambition For His Son Was That He Would One Day Get To Work In Air-conditioning. I Have Achieved That Goal And So Much More Because Of Their Sacrifice. Mom And Dad Didn't Go To College But They Sent Me To College And Law School, And I Will Be Forever Grateful For What They Have Done For Me. My Most Heartfelt Appreciation Goes To My Wife Meike. When I Learned Of This Appointment, I Met Her At The Door Of Our Home In Tallahassee And She Was Crying. She Was Not Just Crying Because She Was Happy; She Was Crying Because She Was Worried.
