Washington, D.C. – The following is a statement by former U.S. Senator Pete Domenici (R-NM) on the death of former U.S. Senator Ted Stevens (R-AK):
“I served with Ted Stevens during my entire 36 years in the United States Senate and without a doubt he was one of the best friends a man could have. He was a dedicated American with a long-standing and impressive record of public service -- a World War II veteran and a Senator who worked tirelessly to help his state and its citizens. His strength and fortitude grew with age and he became a pillar of the Senate.
