"The Smithsonian, for all of us who live in Washington, is a very important part of our total experience. I can remember coming to the Smithsonian as a child with my parents, coming with my two sons after church and much later with my two little granddaughters. I feel very warmly about the Smithsonian"

"I love this opportunity every day I have to come to work to provide amazing public service to all the taxpayers of this almost one-million-person county"
