WINTHROP PAUL ROCKEFELLER
(Mr. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I, along with my colleagues from Arkansas, all
four of us, rise this evening to remember the life of our Lieutenant
Governor, Winthrop Paul Rockefeller. This is a sad day for Arkansas and
for Arkansans.
As a State Senator in the Arkansas legislature, I had the privilege
to serve with Lieutenant Governor Win Rockefeller for nearly 5 years.
In presiding over the State senate, I can remember that he was always
fair and ruled without political bias.
I had the distinct pleasure to know him personally as a result of our
work together in the State senate. And I can tell you he was a generous
man. He was an unassuming man. He was a family man. I can tell you, Mr.
Speaker, that he loved the State of Arkansas and its people.
The people of Arkansas will deeply miss his leadership and his
vision, his vision to make our State a better place for all of us.
His family is in my prayers during this difficult time.
