Many of us vacation there and get to know the people. We have so much in common as midwesterners. looking at the world from our vantage point. smack dab in the middle of this country. and bringing to the conversation in the Senate many of the values that have guided our lives and inspired our families. I listened carefully and thought it is amazing that we have such parallel backgroundsa father who can trace his family roots back to the Revolutionary War and. in both cases. mothers who were immigrants to this country. So being a firstgeneration American. I am sure the Senator feels as I do. a special honor. standing on the floor of the Senate. representing a State as great as Michiganor Illinois.
