President, in my typically classy fashion, I dropped
the microphone before I began to speak. I was glad to yield to my friend from New Jersey when he told me the
reason why because I have three daughters at home, and if one of them--
if I were fortunate enough to have one of them here in Washington, I
would want to be having dinner with her, too, instead of being here,
but I am here tonight for them and for families just like the other
Senators have talked about. My family has an interesting immigration history that people are
surprised by sometimes when I talk about it. My mom and her parents
were Polish Jews when World War II broke out. Miraculously, they
survived the Holocaust.
