He did it most often at the wonderful home--Sunnylands--of Ambassador Walter and Mrs. Annenberg, and he was one who provided a great deal of inspiration and leadership. I'm very saddened to have had the news, Mr. Speaker, of his passing, but I have to say that he lived a very, very full and active 80 years."

By building from the ground up, by focusing on working people, we can build an economy that lasts."
