Senator Chuck Grassley issued the comment below about the retirement of Senator TrentLott.
“It’s hard for me to imagine the United States Congress, and especially the Senate,without Trent Lott being a part of it. Senator Lott has been both a leader and a maverick. Heknows the ins and outs and all the maneuvers of the legislative process. Nobody worked thewhip process better. He’s fought for legislation that respects the principles of less governmentand more freedom. He’s fought hard, and won big, for his constituents. He brings tremendousenergy and drive to his work, and I’ll greatly miss Trent Lott as a colleague."
