Sen. Gregg delivered these remarks on the senate floor on December 14.

Mr. President, I rise today on behalf of myself and my wife Kathy to thank the people of New Hampshire for giving us the great honor and privilege to represent them.

This is an extraordinary body, the Senate. It's filled with wonderful people. I look around this room, and I see a lot of friends, people that I have had the chance to do work with and that I admire immensely.  I thank them for their friendship.

And when people ask me about leaving the Senate, “What's the thing I am going to miss the most?”  I always say it's the people in the Senate, because they're special; dedicated to making this country a better place; dedicated to doing their jobs well; dedicated to serving America.

And so I thank you for the great honor and privilege that you have given Kathy and I to allow us to serve and participate in this body with yourselves and your spouses. ! I want to thank everybody else who's been so helpful throughout our career, the folks here at the dais, the staff, and the cloakroom.  Throughout this building, there are so many people that make the Senate work, people working in the furniture room and people working in the hallways, and our staffs, obviously. This is a special place filled with people who are committed to making the Senate work well. I thank them for allowing Kathy and me to be part of that.
