I felt that there was no greater honor in fact in being elected to Congress than in knowing that I would be his colleague. It seemed somewhat asymmetrical that I would have the same vote that he had here on the House floor. And when he would consult me on which choice he should make. should he become the chairman of the criminal law subcommittee or the immigration subcommittee. it was an honor for me to be consulted by Father Drinan as a young man now. but his colleague in Congress. as to what was the best place. And his criteria of course was what was the best place where he could do the most good for those most in need in our society. And of course. the way he saw our society was not just the United States of America but the whole planet.
