Prepared Floor Remarks by U.S. Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa
On Ted Stevens’ Addition to the Senate Leadership Portrait Collection
Wednesday, October 23, 2019
 
Later today I will attend the portrait unveiling of my former colleague and friend, Senator Ted Stevens, who served in the Senate from 1968 to 2009. 
 
This portrait is being added to the Senate Leadership Portrait Collection because of Senator Stevens’ service as the Senate President pro tempore, a position I now hold. 
 
Senator Stevens was known for his tireless work on behalf of the Alaskan people, reaching across party lines to get the job done. 
 
I am honored to attend today’s ceremony, adding Senator Stevens’ portrait to the historic walls of the United States Capitol.
