"Thirty years ago this week, Senator Bob Dole gave his farewell speech on the floor of the Senate, leaving behind a legacy of service, dedication and compassion. He cared deeply about representing the people of Kansas and he had a profound respect for the institution of the Senate."
"He left his country, nation and state in better shape than when he arrived, and he always knew that the brighter days were yet to come."
'Today, we honor Sen. Dole’s legacy that shows the difference one person can make – regardless of their background, birthplace or education. Kansans and Americans hold him in the highest regard – and he lived a life worthy of that respect."
