Washington, Oct 15 -

Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee released the following statement today on the passing of former Sen. Arlen Specter:

"I was saddened to hear about the passing of Arlen Specter. For thirty years, he served the people of Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate well, often working across the aisle to get things done. He was a Senator who put the needs of his constituents and country before politics. My thoughts and prayers are with his family. Senator Arlen Specter served the people of Pennsylvania with independence, toughness, determination and an unflinching devotion to the best interests of his constituents and our country. We only hope it is a comfort to his wife, Joan, and his family that so many mourn their loss at this sad time."
