Mr. President. I rise today to speak about Paul Tsongas. who lost his battle against cancer on Saturday. We have all lost a great friend: the Nation has lost an extraordinary American who defined the concept of public service and whose courage and conviction set an example for each and every one of us. Paul was the son of Greek immigrants in Lowell. MA. He worked in his fathers drycleaning business. and served in the Peace Corps. as a Lowell city councilor. as a Middlesex county commissioner. as a U.S. Congressman. and as a U.S. Senator in the seat that I am now honored to occupy.
