French Hill recalls McCain as 'a good friend'
By Frank Lockwood U.S. Rep. French Hill paid tribute to the late U.S. Sen. John McCain on Thursday evening on the floor of the House of Representatives. The Republican from Little Rock called McCain "a good friend" and "a loyal member of the House of Representatives and the Senate." The Republican from Arizona, who died Aug. 25 at age 81, served two terms in the House before his election to the Senate in 1986. Years ago, Hill served as a legislative assistant to then-U.S. Sen. John Tower, R-Texas, who campaigned for McCain in Arizona and who was defended by McCain as his nomination for secretary of defense foundered. "You couldn't work for John Tower and not be a friend of John McCain," Hill noted. During his speech, Hill praised McCain's "service to this country and his undenied patriot leadership and strength." |
