When reelected in 2004, Senator Gregg received the highest number of votes in New Hampshire history. He also served the Granite State as Governor (1989-1993) and U.S. Representative (1981- 1989). Senator Gregg is a national leader on fiscal policy, a well-known budget expert, and a respected voice on health care, economic, and financial regulatory issues. His commonsense New Hampshire values have shaped some of the most significant legislation that Congress has passed in recent decades. Senator Gregg played a major role in rescuing our country from the brink of economic collapse as a chief negotiator of the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008. He also was the lead sponsor of the Deficit Reduction Act of 2005 and, along with the late Senator Ted Kennedy, coauthored the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Working across the aisle, Senator Gregg was a key decisionmaker on several important issues. He championed bipartisan efforts to address the Nation's looming entitlement crisis, improve our health care system, and revamp our complex and inequitable tax system. In March 2010, Senator Gregg also was appointed to President Obama's National Commission on Fiscal Responsibility. This bipartisan commission, which is modeled after legislation first introduced by Senator Gregg and Senator Kent Conrad, is responsible for developing recommendations that will help balance the budget and achieve fiscal sustainability over the long term. As a member of the Senate Banking Committee, Senator Gregg served as one of the principal negotiators working to modernize our Nation's financial regulatory system. His expertise on banking issues and derivatives reform positioned him as a pivotal voice in the debate on regulatory reform. Senator Gregg remains focused on maintaining our Nation's position as the best destination for capital and investment, as well as helping job creators and families obtain affordable credit during these challenging economic times. In New Hampshire, Senator Gregg is known as one of the State's greatest champions of land conservation, as he continues to build on a 30-year commitment to protect the State's environment. To date, his efforts have helped preserve more than 337,000 acres of sensitive land. As the former chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, he was also a major force for promoting excellence in the higher education community in New Hampshire, especially at the University of New Hampshire. A New Hampshire native, Senator Gregg attended Columbia University (A.B. 1969), received his J.D. in 1972 from Boston University Law School and his LL.M. in tax law in 1975. He is married to Kathleen MacLellan Gregg. They have two daughters, one son, and one granddaughter. Senator and Mrs. Gregg are residents of Rye Beach, NH. Farewell to the Senate Tuesday, December 14, 2010 Mr. GREGG. Mr. President, I rise today on behalf of myself and my wife Kathy to thank the people of New Hampshire for giving us the great honor and privilege to represent them. This is an extraordinary body, the Senate. It is filled with wonderful people. I look around this room and I see a lot of them, friends, people I have had the chance to work with. I admire them immensely. I thank them for their friendship. When people ask me about leaving the Senate, and what is the thing I am going to miss the most, I always say, it is the people, the people of the Senate, because they are special, dedicated to making this country a better place, dedicated to doing their jobs well, dedicated to serving America. So I thank you for the great honor and privilege that you have given Kathy and me to allow us to serve and participate in this body with yourselves and your spouses. I want to thank everybody else who has been so helpful throughout our career, the folks here at the dais, the staff, people in the Cloakroom, throughout this building. I mean, there are so many people who make this Senate work, people working in the furniture room, and people working in the hallways, and our staffs, obviously. This is a special place filled with people who are committed to making the Senate work. I thank them for allowing Kathy and me to be part of that. I want to take a point of personal privilege here and especially thank my wife Kathy who is here today. You are not allowed to acknowledge people, I know that, but I am going to violate the rules. My wife is sitting right up there. Kathy. We have been married 37 years, and for 32 of those years we have held elective office; nine major campaigns, innumerable campaigns such as those for other people that we have participated in.
