I knew of Senator [George] Mitchell because he was very close friends with who was soon to be the senior senator, Paul Sarbanes. Paul Sarbanes and George Mitchell were kind of pals together.

Look how Bill Cohen and George Mitchell worked together. It's the stuff of legends. And now it's the stuff of almost ancient history, regrettably, but the way those two really worked together.

I think George Mitchell was good for Maryland in the sense that he helped me get elected. It doesn't get any better than that from here on.
Barbara Mikulski
When you're up in Maine, there is Canada, I mean it's looking right at you it's a different viewpoint.
Barbara Mikulski
Nothing really happened - I was elected in '86 - until 1992, and that's when the Anita Hill debacle happened.
Barbara Mikulski
There were times, though, when the women came together on a partisan basis. [When we stopped] the privatization of Social Security during George Bush, we linked arms.
Barbara Mikulski
A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm.
Barbara Mikulski
I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country
Barbara Mikulski
In my state [ Maryland] we've lost jobs to NAFTA, we did not gain jobs from NAFTA. But I think it's very difficult when your state is right up against the northern border, you do see things differently.
Barbara Mikulski
I would say George Mitchell was like Clark Kent sometimes with his horn rimmed glasses and his very quiet manner. People say, well, he's just a quiet leader, but then he emerges as super hero and begins to move this legislation. He led by example.
