Barbara Mikulski
I think George Mitchell believed in promoting women.
Barbara Mikulski
George [Mitchell] introduced the idea that we'd go on a retreat [and] to really regularize caucuses. He's the one who had I think [Tom] Daschle become the Democratic Policy Committee chairman, so I think it lived through with Tom.

I didn't know how we were going to get jobs out of NAFTA, but I tend to be suspicious of these things, like NAFTAs and WTOs and so on.
Barbara Mikulski
George Mitchell was a very good leader, and we were more than satisfied with his leadership. And I know the guys were jealous.
Barbara Mikulski
