Child Of The Senate, Now One Of The Old Guard, U.S. Sen. Chris Dodd Prepares For Departure - Hartford Courant - Daniela Altimari
Chris Dodd's Senate Member Office (D-CT) posted a Press Release on December 10, 2010 | 6:57 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)Washington - Seated before a bank of cameras in the clubby, wood-paneled confines of a Senate hearing room one morning last week, Christopher J. Dodd looked completely at home.
The silver-haired senator was poised to take the gavel for the final time as chairman of the powerful Banking Committee, and he savored the moment.
In his opening remarks, Dodd recalled a conversation he had with the man who preceded him at the helm, Sen. Paul Sarbanes, D-Md., during a particularly raucous hearing in 2006. The people in the room that day were so inflamed that the police had to be summoned. Sarbanes put his right arm around Dodd and, gesturing toward the chaotic scene, said "just think, in six months, all this is yours."

Chris Dodd's Senate Member Office (D-CT) posted a Press Release on December 10, 2010 | 6:51 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)Connecticut Democrat bows out after 30 years with good advice
Connecticut — indeed, the nation — will miss Christopher J. Dodd after he leaves the U.S. Senate in January. Mr. Dodd gave his formal farewell speech to a full chamber Tuesday during the lame duck session, creating one of the few moments of comity the bitterly divided upper chamber of Congress has known in some time.

Dodd's Senate Career Was One of Substance - The Day - Editorial
Chris Dodd's Senate Member Office (D-CT) posted a Press Release on December 10, 2010 | 6:40 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)Even critics have to admit that Sen. Christopher J. Dodd's 30-year tenure in the Senate, the longest of any senator in Connecticut history, was consequential. The Democrat's core belief that government has the responsibility and ability to improve the lives of Americans is reflected in his legislative achievements.
There was wistfulness in Sen. Dodd's farewell address to the Senate last Tuesday, a recognition that the political system on which he built a career and the institution where he served for three decades have changed, and not for the better.

Coming Home: Chris Dodd Looks Back On 30 Years in the U.S. Senate - New Haven Register - Mary E. O'Leary
Chris Dodd's Senate Member Office (D-CT) posted a Press Release on December 10, 2010 | 6:37 pm - Original Item - Comments (View)Washington — This past spring, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., visited a soldier at Walter Reed Hospital who had been injured in Afghanistan.
When he turned to the young man’s mother, who was sitting next to him, to ask how she was holding up, she said: “I’m doing fine. I was able to take family medical leave to be with my son while he recuperated.”
Addressing U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn. on the Senate floor last week, as Dodd prepares to leave after a 30-year career, Reed said the woman probably didn’t even know who Dodd, the author of the landmark 1993 leave bill, was.
