I know that someone she mentioned on the floor yesterdayher greatgrandmotherwould feel a similar sense of honor too. This is a woman who played an important role in our colleagues life. one the Senator speaks of often. She emigrated from Poland when she was 16 years old with little more than a few pennies in her pocket. She couldnt even vote when she arrived. "She never thought." our colleague said. "that her own greatgranddaughter would one day be a United States Senator. But then. it is only in America where my story would have been possible." That is something all of us can appreciate. and we recognize our colleague from Maryland. the longest serving woman in Congress. for the Presidents choice to honor her in this way.
