WASHINGTON – Today U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-TX) issued a statement on the news that Sen. Ted Kennedy has been diagnosed with a brain tumor:
“Sen. Ted Kennedy is a legendary figure in the Senate having given 46 years of his life to public service. Two weeks ago Sen. Kennedy and I conducted a committee hearing to assess our efforts in fighting cancer and we heard directly from experts including Lance Armstrong.
